Hi, I was just looking into Puffer Lite (having "enjoyed" Puffer so much!) and I thought I'd post it here. Puffer Lite is 12 hours overnight, so I wanted to look up sun + moon info. Here it is.
So: It's on 26th June 2010. Nearest big town is Inverness, which is 57n27, 4w15. The US Navy says about 5-6 hours darkness ([url] http://aa.usno.navy.mil/data/docs/RS_OneDay.php [/url]) :

Cheers, al.
Did you enter last year Al?
Was a superb race. Burtal in so many 'different' ways 😉
Thats all I'm saying other than I'll be there defending my first solo podium (3rd)
hi Alek, no I've done 3 proper Puffers but not the Lite. So, thinking about events for this year. What was your #laps?
Cheers, al.
By # do mean total?
16 total (1st, 2nd + 3rd)

Yeah - it was such a fast race compared to the winter one. We'll be aiming to almost match our winter number of laps in half the time. The midges were Un-be-liev-able tho...
oooooohhh should be interesting alek
a little birdy told me it might be worth me riding it ss 😉
did it last years in pairs chasing alex glasgow - got 31 mins to his 29:29 and we took second to them so i was happy with that. Excellent event except the midges - i will be doing it solo this year if i do it just to avoid the ****ers !
Ah, well that's me out then. Midges == not me thanks. I had a great time at 10 Under a few years back, but I'll never go there again in summer thanks to the biting insects. Puffer too? Damn.

Midges, what midges? Those are specially trained motivation bugs. Keep pedalling, or else 🙂
