with woodland singletrack, granny ring climbs and potential bike push
sections. |
| Starting is a Le Mans style
run, of approx. 800 metres to collect your bike |
| Lurking, (a la 24hrs) is not
permitted on your final lap - so don't make it obvious. |

bring a bag of money, bringing the prize fund up to an impressive
£8,000. |
| Once the race starts there's
no outside help - only food and kit from the pit area is allowed |
| Event tips |
| Get there Sat afternoon, camp
up , sign on , pre ride the course and then chill out, have an evening beer at
the bar in hopefully the early summer sunshine. |
| Pace yourself - many riders
die in the final hours having gone too fast , losing chunks of time. Eat at
regular intervals. Do we Know what we are talking about? Well Numplumz got 3rd
place in the 2001 event. |
| A good helper is essential for
a good result, they cannot leave the pit area. |
| Stock your pit area for both
you and helper; spares, food,comfy chair, rain cover, spare bike, (Sunday
newspapers go down well, 6 Hrs is along time to watch bikes go
round) |
| Practice the run in the week
beforehand, to help loosen up those tight cycling calf muscles, take any
food/tools out of your pockets for the run - makes it easier. |
| Enjoy it - its along time to
punish yourself and not have fun |
| Talk any good females you know
into doing it - the prizes for them are excellent |
