For some reason I thought it was always in August.
Post here if you think Stosh should race in the 24 hours of Dalton.

No, the worst would be if you joined a team then bailed on them.Rip said:
Eastern MA, about an hour southeast of Albany, NY.BurlyShirley said:

I second that and I'll also add a shout out to Splat's wife and his kids too!!douglas said:Edit#2: our team did rock!
and that includes justbill & jdcamp
And to MBC and MBC's Mom for showing up on Sunday to root us on at the end.
**** it then.Echo said:
Well actually I think the fastest lap of the race was some dude on a SS, but there were 2 hills that there's no way I could have done on my SS.BurlyShirley said:
No, but there was a hill that lots of people walked.stosh said:
Im really going to do a 24 hour race one of these days. I think Id like a desert on better though, Ive not ever ridden in the desert, but that will change soon, I hope.
I did on both my night laps.stosh said:
Who said I was going to join a team? I'm going to do it solo.I Are Baboon said:

Why is that??? Just curious.I Are Baboon said:
Yes , on the de-motivator ! and part of the pipe line climbstosh said:
There were two spots I had to walk. The "demotivator" as Splat mentioned is a steep, maybe 50 yard technical climb. But it comes at the top a four mile hill climb. The second spot is a 1/4 mile steep, non-technical climb near the end of the loop. MANY people walked this part because by the time you get to it, you're already pretty shot.loco said:
Fun fun.

1)I want to see if I can do it.
2)I'll put $20 on you doing more laps than me since I'm a complete newbie when it comes to 24 hour racing, who will be doing the thing on a 40 pound dirtjump bike with an Evil SRS on the front.
You mean the demoralizer?? That was a bitch....splat said:
demoralizer , demotivator it was both!!!jdcamb said:
Oh yeah I also walked around that one rooty section , after taking a digger on them on my first lap
sorry, I was just trying to either call you on speaking BS or motivate you!Rip said:
anyway, Ofcourse you can do it....its not like there is a minimum # of laps you have to do, you could do the first lap, take a 20 or so hour break and do one more - just finish it after 11am & before 1pm........BUT being part of team, is what made it such an awesome experience (for me.)
40lb DJ bike?
not sure if that is a good idea, if you need to borrow a more XCish bike, let me know and I'll do my best to hook you up
LOL!!! This thread totally made my day 
Bet I could even beat
