Lighter.
God points, both of you. It never came to my mind that a race could be unsupported (unless it's a crit, where you just have spares along the parcours), guess there are still huge differences between racing in or outside europe.

[quoteI am not sure if you are aware, but it is not sunscreen that most apply before races, but some type of heating embrocation.
[/quote]I'm aware, I just don't care...sunscreen works fine, I'm not good enough to notice much difference, plus I burn easily...in case you didn't notice I'm pretty pale at the beginning of the season, although I do tan and stop wearing sunscreen near the end of the season.

hey, nothing wrong with a little sunscreen, skin cancer isn't pro.

I just found this pic while browsing around in my pc and thought it's not bad.
I was at the top of Pico del Veleta (Spain, over Granada), a couple of years ago.
The pic was taken a couple of hundred meters from the top, at about 3400 meters (11.155 ft)! Of course that is the highest point I reached on a bike. I was on the road bike, the last ~600 meters are unpaved but the rest is in very good condition.
