What format of multi-day MTB races do you prefer?

[martelpypie]

We have an annual 2-day stage race in Queenstown, and is not sure whether we must change it from the current 2-person team  event  to an individual 2-day event, or not. How do you feel about it? The prize money would be higher for the winners, if it is an individual event.

It does depend though. ?If I was doing an 8 day event, the two person team thing ?would be better. ?However, for two or three day events I personally prefer individual riding. Cheryl J2008-11-09 13:27:06

I'd much rather ride with a partner... but then again I'm a 'social' rider and not a 'racer'

not to mention the great partner you have

I would always be worried about letting my team mate down for going to slow. So I prefer to do the individual events.

that worried me too. me and nancy did the right thing and settle on our target for the quest before the event. he decided on consistency, ie start at the back and finish there

When I come up to Gauteng again then we really have to go for a ride. I like the way you think add some beer to that and you don't give a sh!t if you stoned cold last.

Unless I am your partner in which case you moan because I keep on dropping back!
