I have email D2D to clarify the 4 or 3 riders issue and explain what the "rodeo" option is. Stu and I did the 24hr race as part of a four man team in 2013 and the race is won or lost in the night time. We will need good head torches and some night time rides to get used to them. I suggest running two or three riders at night putting is a many short laps as possible and handing over to a fresh rider that has slept all night to take over at 7am. The night time riders can get some rest and ride again when they get up. It's brilliant event with tension that builds all the way thru but real test of endurance! The going is hard packed sharp stones with a slippery layer of black mud over everything so worn out mousses work really well.

Ive only ever done the 6 hr
my mate done the 24 hr solo
the best thing to do is do asmany laps in the night as possible because the loop is a lot shorter
The best training you can do is ride up and down bolder alley all day because thats what it like
