MTB endurance events

[blevo]

I'm looking at getting into mtb endurance events, specifically the 24hr events, i was wondering if there is anyone out there who could tell me about a good training programme for the event, and also if anyone knows a website they could show me that would tell me about when and where the events are held??
That would be great!!
Cheers

I'm in Melbourne, so this might not help :

I'm no expert but I reckon the best training for endurance MTB is time on your bike, nothing beats it. I've also found that cross training with running & swiming helps, but can't go past time on the bike.

It's hard to get the time aside to do 6hr+ on a bike, so it would be resonable to train with 3hr rides on average. Maybe doing a loop course that takes mroe than 40mins per lap.

There is a new mag coming out in the next week or so called Enduro ($7.95) with lots of info. It was released at the 04 Mont 24 Hr race
