jcmeyerSS Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 Team based or? Total noob who would love to do a 24 hour.it all depends what you looking for.we alway enter as individuals that way we can ride laps together and its a lot more social.if you ride as a team then one guy/girl is out sweating and the rest are back at camp making fun of them. haha

NO-one even took note of the obvious mistake....it is a 24 hour race..TWENTY-FOUR Hours and not a 4 hour....slip of the finger!!!
Vega Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 Entered for the solo. Any non-obvious advice for a newbie to 24hr riding?
Flippa Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 Entered for the solo. Any non-obvious advice for a newbie to 24hr riding?Steady consistent pace is better than fast and furious. You're not there for a fast time, you're there for a long time.
Vega Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 Steady consistent pace is better than fast and furious. You're not there for a fast time, you're there for a long time.Thanks. How much sleep do guys normally get, or is it a stay awake and ride all night thing? Just need to know what to prepare for.
CAAD4 Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 400km minimum is normally expected from rhe solo riders... So not much sleep then I guess... OK not expected...
Vega Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 400km minimum is normally expected from rhe solo riders... So not much sleep then I guess... OK not expected...Thats an average over 24hrs of 16.67km/h or more. Doesn't leave much time for sleep. I suspect I may be do less than 400kms
