We Want To See Your #STSupermoon!

On November 14th (next Monday) the moon will be at its closest to the Earth since 1948 resulting in the most super of supermoons in over half a century!

With the moon snuggling so close to us on Monday it is going to look humongous, with experts telling us to expect our lunar buddy to appear 30% brighter and 14% larger than usual! Even the boffins at NASA are getting excited about the event and have described it as a “showstopper”. What show they’re specifically referring to escapes us, but we’re sure it’ll be impressive either way!

We want to see YOUR night riding photos with the Supermoon! Maybe you can get creative like the fella’s from Darklight?

While a supermoon might be of show-stopping quality, it would look so much better if it was seen while on a night ride don’t you think? If you’re heading out on Sunday night (or perhaps very, very early Monday morning), then make sure you take your phone or your camera along, and grab a snap of you riding with the supermoon. Make sure you tag it on Instagram with the hashtag #STSupermoon, so we can see just how super this thing is!

While we’re talking about Instagram, don’t forget to follow us on @singletrackmag.

P.S don’t worry if this Supermoon isn’t visible as another (less spectacular) Supermoon will be in the sky on the 14th December.
