seriously thinking about it..fitness pending... I need to broaden my cycling horizon, I mean if I can't handle the mental boredom of road riding, 12hr endurance race should be fun.. Kinda like DHilling, you're on your own and whatever you do wrong, it's almost always your fault..

Just don't laugh when I force myself to wear lycra...ugh..the thought..!!

No, this is DH for 12 hours solo. You take the lift up, you race down, take the lift up, race down...repeat for 12 hours.

If you can live thru that many, seems pretty grueling to me.

i want to do a 24 hour race solo, but it's not gonna quite fit into the type of racing i would be doing when it rolls in to conyers this year. oh well maybe next year.

cyclocross season is more important to me. and w/ cyclocross, it's STUPID do go out and do 6-10 hour rides during that season b/c it's A. useless B. did enough base through winter and early spring, it would pretty much do more damage then good to my goals for cross season.

I never got into cyclocross, not my thang. i like the endurance races more.

i'm into alot of different forms of racing, however i do best at short intense races like short track events and crits, so cross fits right up my alley.

I'm the exact opposite.
