24 hour racing is repetitive, but as you get more tired, it becomes more challenging.

Racing and the sport of mountain biking are about teamwork, camaraderie and sportsmanship.

A big part of sportsmanship is honor.

Each racer is on their honor when signing up for a race. Whether you have a license or not is irrelevant. Honor yourself, your team and the sport itself by following the rules.

 

Thanks and have fun - Omni-Motion

It takes about 3 laps to find the flow and the best lines but you are trying too hard in the heat of he day. Then the trail seems to evolve and you are constantly searching for that rhythm. As it cools you start really getting into the groove and the dusk lap is your best so far. Then night falls and everything changes. The trail looks and feels different - you start finding the flow again...

 

I won't even begin to tell you how awesome it feels to ride through the next morning as it gets warmer. :D
