Not strictly 'bikepacking', but is anyone registered for the TwentyFour12 this year? I'll be singlespeeding in the 12h solo category on my Stooge Mk4 and would be great to meet some other 'boners there!

Thinking about it, but after the Tour Divide I might have had enough of sitting on a saddle for a while, so am seeing how I feel....

I did it twice before doing the TD and haven't done another multi-lap race since. Mike Hall was there at the last one I did and his bike still caked in New Mexico dust. He called it quits long before the finish. I think he was only there to keep Pivot happy.

Wow, this is still going, I thought the 24hr racing scene was dead! I did it once for the 12 hour pairs, in fact I think it was 12 years ago now. Managed 2nd place , won an exposure joystick! How times have changed! Really enjoyed it, had a good vibe.

I started the year after we raced the TDR.... I pulled out quite quick (relative terms) just wasn't arsed. Has taken this long to even contemplate the idea of doing a 24 hour race again! And to think how much I used to enjoy doing them!

It's now cancelled anyway (unfortunately). Too much up front cost and insufficient up front entries mean it's too financially risky.
A real shame, as this seems to be the way of things recently.
