24 hour solo mtb race advice?

I'm thinking about trying one of the 24 hour mtb races this summer. I've
done one as part of a 4 man team, but that wasn't serious and it was a
couple of lazy years ago.

Can anyone post some links to some sites or newsgroups that specifically
deal with 24 hour solo riding?

I'm looking for stories, tips, advice, equip, whatever!

Happy holidays!

Large herd-mentality 24 hour racing on public lands is an ecological travesty.

I know how you feel and most others on this group do to but for this guy at
least point to a website that explains it/why. You opened my eyes to the
damage caused so I will never think about a 24 race as I was ignorant to
what was being done to the trails.

thanks for the warning about damage. But over her in the UK, "races" can
only be held on private land as otherwise no liscences can be given for the
event.

so no guilty concience for me!

anyone have any links for site with training advice?

cheers

So is Mr Peach still fielding thoughts about the upcoming FFTF 24 hour
"ride" or is that been put in the ****er? Care to elaborate?
