I feel kinda guilty in that more than a few groups of people have asked me to race in their teams with them & I've turned them down. I've offered to do say 7laps in the day back to back. then thats it. chill, propper nights sleep. hey even get pi$$ed! but thats not really what 24hr racing is about (apparently!) I nite ride during the winter as theres no other option! dont really enjoy night riding & the taking it in turns3hrs off, 1 hr on the bike thing really doesnt appeal.
... after having spectated the last 2yrs the minging conditions & having to push/ carry your bike really dont appeal ether..

so yeh petty reasons, but I've said my piece

I think he's scared of wearing a Team Etto helmet.

so I guess from that youre up for it Scant? :?

Could be up for it, but may be tricky as have a 12hr at the Bristol Bikefest the week before.
Will check how many browny points I have. New arrival to the family see!

'cough' Where is it again?

Sorry I didn't post back - haven't been able to get into the site all day.

Can ride a bike (just!), and could keep it retro with the fully-rigid Bonty or the Ibis Hakkalugi, or semi-retro with the Merlin XLM.

I've got a tent or a Bivi, sleeping bag etc, and a set of lights (though not necessarily 24-hour racing ones). I'm in Edinburgh but can come down, no car but that shouldn't be a problem.

Even better, I've got the 23rd off work already - was going to York for the CTC Rally, but SSMM sounds better!

24hrs ?

I was quite enthusiastic, although with reservations broadly similar Scants, what's really put me off the cost of the event, sad I know, but I think I'd rather channel my funds towards a repsray or something.

Might show well shown for the retro meet , and then go ride some nearby bridleways.

So, is there enough support for this to pull a team together? Oh, and how much does it cost?

ededwards · Mar 2, 2006

I think it costs Â£190 per team or Â£65 solo.

Eastnor is only about 10 miles from where I live so if anyone doesn't fancy entering the event but is going to be in the area and wants to ride .....

(note: my wife forbade me riding this year after last years solo effort)
