If one happens to already be senseless...can they watch, too?
What tires are you going to run?
Looking forward to seeing it!

canyncarvr, your more than welcome to watch it mate no matter what senses you have I'm running Michelin AC10's by the way. Any support welcome
Got to be honest, we're doing it the easy way. 3 man team, 12 hour.
Anyway, were 313

Some may like the team name. others may not I'm doing it on the KDX220R, Henry is on a Gas Gas 250, not sure what Adrian is riding yet but we also have a spare bike which is a RM/KDX hybrid. Finishing the event is the main priority. The video in the link only show's the easy bits
Cheers all

I didn't look at 'the rules'..but I take 'the easy' part of a 3 man team is that you take turns riding?.
Not like, say, a NASCAR team where both drivers on a team are driving at the same time.
Right?
AC10s for a particular reason, or that's what you have on the bike? The AC10 being DOT approved...is road-running part of the race?

Thats it, basically were looking at 4 hours riding each. Depends on how we get on, bikes go etc etc. I'm the most experienced on that kind of terrain and hopefully have the most reliable bike so i may get lumbered with the bigger share but we'll see. The other 2 in the team are probably quicker in a flat sprint. We'll take it as it comes basically and if all goes well the 24 hour is on the cards next yearcanyncarvr wrote:I didn't look at 'the rules'..but I take 'the easy' part of a 3 man team that you take turns riding?.

AC10's basically because i like them and they cope well with muddy going. I have another event coming up a week or 2 after and a lot of enduro clubs stipulate you use road legal enduro tyres so the AC10 works with that aswell. Of course they also last well on the KDX which is a bonus

I like that idea. You get a break now and again..and get to be on the pit side of the action, too: Refuel, clean goggles, and the like.
Have fun!

When you look good...you ride good.
Right?
Is that race always a mucky mess? Or...does it have to rain to be that way?
Or...maybe it just always rains?
Only a couple days away!

Well obviously it looks good but its mostly down to the fact that my other 2 helmets are probably past their sell by date now. Was out at the weekend and my fave helmet wasnt as comfy as normal plus it has had a nasty bang to it when i made a mistake on a hill and fell back down head first
Nah! It isnt always that mucky infact the year before it actually got dubbed the Dawn to Dust. Im personally hoping its somewhere inbetween
Just want to get going now, kind of getting gittery. Got another enduro a couple of weeks after and another a couple of weeks after that so kind of hoping the bike doesnt get to much damage
