NotSoBigBen Posted October 27, 2009 Share I disagree with your comment on "plenty of space to overtake" and then there will be half the field walking the little up hill coming out of the forest' date=' causing congestion yet again. I understand Rome was not built in a day, let's see how this one pans out.[/quote'] I believe their is a "chicken route" planned as an alternative for the walkers. Or should I say that I hope the rumor of said route is true You pissy as Marius would say! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ84 Posted October 27, 2009 Share This is going to be a great race. The 6 hour wasnt a problem at all and there was a lot of single track through trees, slower guys will move out the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wonder Woman Posted October 27, 2009 Share I think you guys are over-reacting. The route is going to be great, there will be more than enough places to overtake and enough for the good riders to give a race and for those slower and not so steady riders it'll be rideable and enjoyable as well. Just enter it...C'mon, it's going to be great!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yip How would you compare a six hour's riders attitude compared to one doing 24 hours ? I am asking and as I said elsewhere I am a mere apprentice in the wonderful world of ultra endurance MTB. I would think that a six hour race would attract a faster and more experienced rider and with my limited experience in 24 hours I would have to assume that an event like this would attract all types, so I don't really see the slower guys being so amicable. Limited experience with this and I would appreciate some more insight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Limited experience with this and I would appreciate some more insight. The 6h was a lot faster and the 24h does attract a lot more slower riders there to just have fun. Thats the main reason i am doing it as well! I found the attitude pretty much the same, just a lot less people at the 6h. I seem to find that guys do move out the way if they can as do i for the fast guys, but as everyone is saying, looks like the track will have plenty places to pass.
