Completed my first 24 hour race this weekend with some friends on a 4 man team. We were one of six teams from our LBS. We placed 28 out of 173 4 man teams, and the next best from the shop was 41, so we were pretty stoked with the result. It rained literally non-stop the 2 days before dumping 12 cm of rain, so the 15 km course was wet and muddy, and it parts extremely-have-to-walk-muddy because it was like glue on the tyres. All in all though a great experience, loads of fun and a great atmosphere with 1001 participants. Only foundone picture to share so far. I did 6 laps (we did 27 in all including the start lap) so had to go through this "puddle" 6 times. It was pretty cold during the night laps. :x Can't see the bike, but I went with the SS and a rigid fork...problem free bike for those riding conditions, and it just kept going without a hitch
