[Event] 947 Cycle Challenge 2016

It changes the "feel" on your skin -- the amount of UV light received.

 

We're 2km up, and that's 2km less of "thick" atmosphere.

 

More importantly, we're close to the equator, and that's more direct sunlight, so the sunlight travels less through the atmosphere, and there's more UV.

 

 

The sky should also be lighter here, less blue, due to less rayleigh scattering.

 

 

I've got no idea what the actual % difference is.

 

Patch wasn't denying it gets hot here, what he was questioning was why they said the surface of the sun is hotter because of where we are (according to what they wrote)

Anyone know if there is a secure bike park at the expo. Can I ride there with my bike or rather not.

Not sure if this should fall under the Beer debate.

Beer tent prices at CC 2016. is it fair to pay R 30 for beer? Prices at the MTB race

 

Wonder what the bench to umbrella ratio will this year?

From the map they provided, we will enter from the main entrance at R55. Make sure your brakes are working.
