I do have some form for 24hr events
Haha, just seen the rest of the replies about your form. As such, just ignore everything I’ve said, I’ve only played at them.
The only MTB specific thing I’d say is take plenty of spares but if you’re on a rigid SS there’s not much to go wrong.
Saying that, I broke the saddle one year at Torq in Your Sleep which was a bit of a problem!
grm-
I broke the saddle
That's funny. I'd never have taken a spare saddle but this was the GrInbred 5 days ago:
https://twitter.com/firsthippy/status/1514586484866756617I'm now on a saddle off my partner's bike and think I might just throw in some random seatpost/saddle combos so I can swap them around and ruin different parts of my anatomy.
hippy
I do have some form for 24hr events so I'm not going into the event 'duration' blind.
I'll be taking some of the stuff I normally eat for sure but I'm definitely trying other random foods (they're doing pancakes man!). Again, not like this kind of thing has stopped me before :) I'm also quite able to eat nothing but sugary food for 24hrs, but since this is a "fun" event I'll be mixing it up anyway because it's not performance I'm after, it's just completion.
Thanks for the info. I guess I was after more MTB specific stuff I was looking for but there's probably not that much cross over with people doing road and MTB 24hrs.
Not having a powermeter will probably mess with my head. I might wear a HR monitor for shits and giggles. Trying to decide if I'll use roadie kit or MTB shy shorts. I could just wear a skinsuit for the LOLs (and it'd keep mud out of my arse crack).
