Better hurry up. I got an email from them recently that said only 95 spots left (out of 1600). It's the best race of the year. Second largest 24 race in the nation, after Moab. That said, the actual course if a breeze. 16 miles of non-techy trails.

A buddy and I signed up tonight for a duo team. I'm looking forward to this.

I'm riding it. On a team. I'll be riding my mountain bike and using tires. I have no idea what the course is like.

I am doing a 4 man team and Ty is doing a 5 person co-ed junior team. We rode a few laps on the course last weekend and the trails are in great condition.

Looking forward to seeing everyone down there for some fun!

Doing it again this year with a group of old geezers! I did multiple laps last year on both the SS rigid 29er w/ Kenda's all around and with my Canzo full squish 29er and kenda's. Had faster times on the SS (not by much) but the squish was nice at night when you can't see the bumps! Course is fast and flowey with zero tech....and oh watch out for the jumping cholla!

I am doing a duo SS even though thats not a category.

 

[eabos]

I wanna do this race again one of these days. Stopped doing it a couple years ago because the a DH race at Bootleg Canyon always falls on the same weekend.

That being said, it's a great time. It's the large scene of cool people and great event planning that makes it cool. the course is incredibly dull in my opinion. Just my opinion though, I hear many people rave about it.

Brian if I am still in town would be happy to wrench for you.. since your racing SS, that includes:
1) a nice cold one every lap
2) repeat as necessary

I am doing it again this year... great race and really fun time.

I remember doing this on Eabos's team a few years ago... it was super fun to watch him, Landon, and I think powerranger turning laps on walmart/borrowed bikes with flat pedals... wearing tank tops, tennis shoes, gym shorts!!!

One of my best Old pueblo memories was Landon coming back from his lap with bloody knees and elbows and a Ripped white wife beater (when it was like 35 degrees!!) LOL!!! Man, these guys have come a LOOOOOONG way and put on a lot of miles on bikes (and eabos's mom) in the past several years!

There are so many great Old Pueblo memories!

One of my favorites is from about 4 years ago when it was really cold out there. Dru, who is one of the original drunkcyclist gang, is getting ready to head out on a lap in honor of a fallen comrade, Kyle. It is freezing cold out and Dru heads out on his lap wearing just a DC wifebeater, speedos and pink fishnet stocking - Classic!

Taking my 1st attempt at 24 solo. Way to fat to actually do it well, but i'm gonna try, darn it. Geared with full suspension, b/c I'm old school.

This is one of my favorite videos from the 24HITOP. Tinker, THE Drunkcyclist, Sadow with the shotgun, Raptor Guy, jailbreak guy on a cruiser, monster cross rider, New Beligum Beer hand offs, and skinny's fond memory of nakkid guy...

you'll have to keep the fire going as well.

that would be cool. the plan is to get a nice sized group set up for other Solo friends in the pit area.
