Anyone else entered yet?
Solo places won't last that much longer.
Akif- I go to these events with whoever I know who is up for it (sometimes that means on my own). The vibe at the event is always friendly.
I can't offer a lift as am due to move to the Peak Disctrict in the next couple of months. It is possible to travel to the Bontrager by train if you need to.

I havent entered as of yet, been quite busy. It may be a close call for even myself this summer to do the 12 hour by myself. Im definite for participating as a group.
Thanks anyway tonto, I checked out prices and everything for going solo with my bike n that.. its far too much hassle as Im hardly prepped for a 12 hour. Would much rather do the group this year, then when Ive got a car, go there for the 12 hour solo next year.
12 hour Mixed Open - Current Participants:
- Akif

Anyone who wants to do the 12 hour Open Mixed please post and lets get more people to represent EHC! =]

Oh dear, I thought you wrote 12 hour. 24 hour might be a bit too much for me.
Pair sounds great in 12, definitely up for that. Not sure if anyone else is up for it. So im pretty happy with that, anything other than 12 hour as there is little time for me to be training for the full She-bang. =]

IMHO doing one of these events as a pair can be almost as hard as a solo, you never get the time to rest properly and you always feel the extra pressure to push yourself as you know your partner is waiting at the changeover.
Unless you agree to take it easy and do your changovers at your camp area.
Although a 12 hr pair would probably be a good challenge...

Nope, already had some off-line discussion with Akif about it. On a different date I am certainly interested to do something like this.

No final decision made yet but I was thinking about it. Did it last year on my XC bike but should be loads more fun on the remedy.
If you want to go would be fun to get a group together, a friend of mine was also thinking about doing it again.
