If anyone here (or knows someone who) is looking to ride solo in th FGP 12hr MTB enduro, there are only 9 solo spots remaining! Entrie for the FGP 12hr were over 130 (out of a possible 500) when i checke last night, so i wouldn't leave it too much longer b4 entering. I kno some of you had a great time at the kona24hr...wouldn't want you t miss out ;
Entries for the Kona24hr are also filling up with just under 100 rider entered thus far. There is a 900 rider limit on this event this year
The dirt crits will start Series 2 this week. Last week saw the fina race of Series1; with the winner taking home a set of Mavic Cross-Roc' and other series placegetters riding off with various SRAM, Conti an FGP goodness in their sky-rockets. Anyone can win (all grades win th same points & handicap nights rate with triple points) so come on down

Fantastic stuff..
Our team of three has all registered and signed up and looking forwar in fear and anticipation.... Do you think the full 900 spots will b filled? (Half hoping for a thinner field and easier passing, bu accepting it'll be a jostly first lap!
who knows?! I'd like to think so! 900 riders gives us about a (very rough guesstimate here, based on 900 riders equals about 225 teams) 1 rider every 90metres on the course. the result for the FGP12hr at 500riders gives us about 1 rider every 96m. Not too squishy!
Hope so
This'll be our first race ever and I think I'm more pannicked at th idea of falling/crashing/stumbling in front of a heap of other rider and causing unmentionable frustration than I am at hitting the wall an coming stone cold motherless last..
But from what I've heard, 24hr events tend to be a lot less 'angst ridden' than most other races, so I'm looking forward to that

You'll be right! I eat dirt about 200% more often than even th crappiest riders and I never got any grief from other people during th Kona24 or the slightly more serious HDATO 8hr
People will pass if it's clear and if it's not, they will generally le you know they are there with a call of "track!", whereupon you move ove and let them through if it's safe to do so. I hear riders coming an tend try and move over fairly early, sometimes stopping to let the through a tight section. I'm never going to win an mtb race so I' rather make some friends on the track :
