I am looking at doing some 24hr events next year and just wondering what there is out there?

There is the obvious Mountain Mayhem.

but what others are there and what is the best?

Puffer is best followed, by UK24solos, followed by Relentless. There are no 24hr mountain bike races in England.

in terms of ease - mountain mayhem certainly comes high up compared to others ....

no real climbing , no real decending , gentle undulating on deep mud ....

climby - uk 24s followed by relentless

exposure and atmosphere(that is - lack of atmosphere because everyones busy trying to survive and stay warm - no bad thing reminds you your human 😀 ) - puffer

24/12 had such an awful course the first year i darnt go back ....

thats close enough - only thing that stops you riding a cx bike is the rules - many have commented on it being the ideal bike 😉

* fyi- im just playing ..... dont take it to heart pat - atmosphere at mayhem is second to none !

i love the fact that for the english events you name the actual towns or places but for the scottish ones you just say Scotland (part from newcastleton).
Classic

Why restrict yourself to the UK?

[url= http://www.24doce.com/nueva/index.php ]24Doce[/url] in Madrid is only a couple of hours away and logistically probably easier and cheaper to get to than driving the length and breadth of the UK, weather should be better too! 😆
