Strathpuffer 24h MTB Enduro

Collected 'wisdom' from the MTB thread so far

Some initial recommendations:

• Get ice tyres, bring mud tyres
  
• Rent the lights from Exposure
  
• Bring a head torch and a spare
  
• Bring every single bit of cycling kit you own
  
• Bring every item of warm clothing you own
  
• Rent a campervan/decent tent - Don't use a panel van, they are rubbish for this
  
• Bring snow chains for van/can tyres if not 4x4
  
• Travel up on Thursday night/Friday morning
  
• Bring a heat source and lots of fuel, then more fuel
  
• Be prepared to be unprepared
  
• Don't over think it, just do it
  
• Be prepared to be very cold, even by Scottish standards
  
• Bring a second set of wheels with the tyres you haven't fitted to the other set of wheels
  
• Use a bike with gears, maybe, maybe not
  
• Bring even more fire wood
  
• Lie down for at least an hour mid race
  
• Bring De-icer for clipless pedals
  
• Bring a GOSH, unless you are a singlespeeder, then you are allowed to be permanently grumpy
  
• Bring cash
