I've always found solo to be easier than riding in a team. You get to ride your pace, with your thoughts for company, and no pressure about performing for the team.

should probably think about getting on the bike a bit before then

Are you entering again this year?  If you are, I'll just be in one position lower at the end...

I am. And if there is anything like "24hr entry remorse" then I certainly have it. I have no idea why I like self-harming so much!

 

And who knows, anything can happen in 24hrs - I might be that guy towards the bottom of the leaderboard...

[fandacious]

such a rad event! 

 

Dane, you're lucky i'm not entering this one - your title is safe for another year

I know! I was so relieved when my stalker skills revealed that you weren't riding. Still doesn't mean I'm sleeping well at night!

in all seriousness i'm bleak that i'm missing it. The vibe is just amazing, and theres something to be said for pedaling your lungs out @ 3am in the morning up some gnarly single track through a pine forest

 

We had already planned out team comeback and were eyeing a win again, when I realized i'd be in the middle of the indian ocean on a ship.

 

Maybe 2018!

If anyone still keen on a early bird fun team entry 

I have a substitution.

I might have a entry as well if the weather predictions are right..
