The 24h stage race in groups of eight would be my preference.

That looks bonkers ! :-) Great sweeping curves....makes you feel out of breath just watching...Camera bike isn't hanging around either is it ?

24 hours... not sure I'd want to be riding with that many people at the 6am mark..

Looks great.

A rider's blog about his ride last year.

Sounds great.

I'd get a stroke after five hours.

Lucky you. I'd settle for a back massage.

Who's up for doing the MTB one next summer with me?

About eighty riders got a lap in yesterday evening. Two guys did two laps of Nordschleife in 1:30h. I missed the 20:40h cut off for lap two by about ten minutes but the marshall waved me throught. Thank you. Broom wagon picked me up just before Hohe Acht, 21.30h on the spot.

Second lap had the odd spot of rain as well. Ride finished down the Grand Prix course grid.
