I raced this last year in a 5 person coed team. The course is short only about 4.5 to 5 miles. It is pretty much climb to the top by crossing the mountain a couple of times and then downhill through the woods. The team that did the most laps were 4 young kids.

Yeah, it was our first 24 and were pretty much there just to have fun. As you can see from the results there are not alot of teams so when your riding you don't see many people. I did a night lap without seeing one person from start to finish. After midnight all of the 12 solos are gone so that eliminated quite a few riders on the course.

No, I think they are saying once ski season ends and the ground is ready for bikes, anybody can come ride the course. :)

I'm interested in this event - not sure about doing it solo for 12 hours because I don't know who I'd have available as a support person.

Anyone want to do some type of team thing?

Are the 12 hour folks planning on arriving Saturday and sleeping over or doing the whole weekend deal.
I think one support person could deal with 5+ solo riders on a 1 night stay out of the back of his truck.

I'll definitely be camping, it's too far for a day trip for me.

Bill, that would be awesome if you could do support!!!

I have a realative that lives an hour north....more than likely I would still camp at the race.

IF I do this race, I will most likely crash at a hotel the night before. After not sleeping at Dalton, I don't want that to happen again, especially if I am riding solo for 12 hours.

You being the support guy would kick serious booty. :)

I figure tenting is fine for a one night stay. I could set the familly up in the trailer over at Keyser Pond for the weekend then grab just what i need for Saturday and sleep over at the race site.
High carb, easy to digest snacks during the race and a midnight feast.
12 hours to cook? Whatever shall i make?

I was hoping that you might want to partner up as a two man team for the 12 hours bill......not sure if I'll be up for doing 12 hours solo - consider it.

Or whoever else is thinking about this - anyone interested in making up a 2 person team?

I will consider it! Keep in mind I have not decided if I am even doing this race yet, so don't go getting your hopes up.

I'm not sure if my schedule with the boys will allow me to do this one either but if I do, I'd like to be a teammate with someone.
:cool:
