 You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
Well with just 3 weeks to go until 24/12 lets see who's racing (aka surviving) and what is your target? I will start:
Category - 12 hour Solo
Riding - On One Scandal
Target - 8 laps with a reach target of 10
So who else is riding?
I'm in torchbearer my first ever race so really excited will be riding a cube sting 140 29er, or a trek 69er
I've entered the 24 hr solo. But I won't be there as I'm double booked. Bit of a shame as it's my favourite race of the year. Have to make sure I'm back next year.
12 hour solo here, riding for Qwerty Cycles on a Cannondale Scalpel 29er, and maybe a few laps on a Cannondale SS with a Lauf fork if my legs are up for it (or I have a mechanical).
I think I did 14 laps last year. Would like to improve on this, but fear I have missed my fitness boat after the post-Mayhem slump.
24 hr solo for me, mainly as the 12hr was full. I might still stop at 12 hours anyway. Or before.
Black Tallboy, and a pained expression I'd imagine.
24 hr solo. First time was 2013 and missed last year. Hoping to do more than 175 miles to beat my best. Probably on an OO Lurcher.
24hr solo here, done a couple of 2's in the past but this i my first 24.
I managed 16 laps in last years Torchbearer so the aim for this years 24 is for 24 laps. Not sure how likely that is though 😀
12hr solo for me. I did 15 laps last year, I had time for a 16th but wanted a beer! I pretty much blew up after a few hours due to the heat and not drinking enough, so just hung in there for most of the race. Must remember to stay hydrated if it is as hot this year.
For this year too much other stuff got in the way of riding at the start of the year. So I was half thinking of selling my place in April, but have got some miles into my legs in the past couple of months. Really not sure how I will do this time, I will just keep pedalling and see how it goes.
I will be riding on a Rocky Mountain Vertex hardtail.
My local circuit so not missing this for anything!
Aiming to beat my 12 laps for 12hr solo on my Epic as I've now had more than 30 seconds practise on it. I broke my last bike frame on the eve of the race last year. My fave bike shop Clive Mitchell Cycles in Truro kindly lent me the Epic, which I then duly bought. Perfect test ride!
Gutted to not be entered this year, was going to be in a team of four but two of them pulled out and my other team mate didn't fancy pairs. Tut.
Gah, respec to all you solo lunatics! 🙂 Doing 12 hours as a threesome, did 24 as a 3 last year and it rather put me off the whole 24 hours thing, really looking forward to a midnight finish. I shall endeavor to provide as much encouragement to you loons as I possibly can once I clock off, thought it was a corking event last year. 🙂
I have an entry for Torchbearer but now jobless and can't really justify the diesel. May do the Ridgeway double ITT instead which will cost me nothing but pain.
24hr team.
Our goal is to have fun & not take it seriously.
I'll be on my carbon FSR with red bits on it.....mate is probably bringing along a demo Salsa Beargrease in baby blue so we might be lapping on that.
We'll probably be camped along the straight bit of track along the field that doubles back on itself & there'll be some kind of branded easy-ups.....
Looking forward to it!!
24hr quad.
Riding a Sanderson Life, but also bringing a Fatty along which everybody in the team must ride at least one lap on!
We'll sort out the target once we've arrived and had a few beers I expect.
First go at a 12hr solo, Torchbearer as it was the only option left. Going for 8 laps with 10 at a push.
Riding my beloved Kona Hei Hei and I've treat it to new decals for the occassion.
Category - 12 hour Solo
Riding - Bontrager SS/Cannondale Scalpel
Target - Riding behind OP making motorbike noises 'for encouragement' 🙂
24 Solo for me, red club kit riding a black Anthem X 29er. Don't shout "Kryton" this year, thats an STW registration error on my part:D
Kryton57 - MemberDon't shout "Kryton" this year, thats an STW registration error on my part
What should we shout....?
* or * or ******, take your pick 😀
See profile.
24hr mixed team of 5 for me. 2nd year there.
Yep, going to be there as a part of a 12 hour pair. I've done with the 24hr stuff now!
Not sure what I'll be riding, I've just sold my Anthem and my Capra hasn't (probably won't have) arrived. Possibly an On One Scandal I'm trying to blag from a lad at work.
I hope the weather matches last years! 🙂
24hr team for me. So far we have 4, we need 5 because I've been off the bike with sinusitis for 3 weeks, one of the boys is a newbie, and another has a recovering broken hand.
I've done plenty, we'll enjoy even if we are last.

You mean you haven't been taking it seriously the last 5 years???!
I'll be on a Blue Giant, now with go faster 1x10 gears.
12hr solo for me on a stooge. Have done the 24hr team once before but wanted a challenge. Would like to do 10 laps but the lack of suspension might break me well before then.
richmars - MemberYou mean you haven't been taking it seriously the last 5 years???!
Well, no one else on my team does!! It's like having to work with trained monkeys, just a bit smellier.....
Pairs this year if my current back will allow!? Think most of our club (wdmbc) is back down this year.. eek
