Mountain Mayhem 24 hour mtb race

do we have to book camping too? ugh

Quite possibly

Wish I had a camper van

Anyone know any more about camping @BareNecessities @platypus @TvH

Camping Will mostly be in the Main Arena area, with quiet zone camping available separately.
It is intended that the course will pass through the campsite as in previous years.
In the New Year we will release Priority Camping for a small fee, enabling you to choose and reserve your camping spot. Details will be on social media, so keep checking.

Camping is free, on a first come first served basis, with the exception of the trackside numbered spots, which were pre-booked and paid for

Here's the course

Length: 9km
Elevation: 195m

(I think all the trackside stuff is sold out)

which were pre-booked and paid for

;-)

Not by me though

Yeah gotcha

Guys I might hire a car because trains can do one. To MH it's the 2 bike spaces requiring reservation jokes.

It's possible I could take three people

Not sure driving to buttfuck nowhere is preferable to an hour on a train. Just book the spaces early

Just book the spaces early

You might find - although I haven't checked - that early was some weeks ago and the opportunity has now gone.

Also, I was burned this weekend by the train we wanted to get simply being cancelled because no reason. Fuck that happening when you can't get the next train or take an alternate route.

definitely interested in a car split so long as it ain't £££££

@TvH @platypus and @Howard - your race will be Saturday, midday - 6pm, then Sunday, 6am - midday

£50 and bit for petrol

But you will get there.

You might be able to get @7Üp in there too? Depending on which day he's travelling up

Matt and Caren should be getting there in the Volvomobile on Saturday

Indra might get there in some mad, barely functioning vehicle...

damn didn't realise so many people were coming!
will let you know H, just texted C

train return for me is £32.35 (railcard, split ticketing)

There's been a few mudfests in the past D:

@Howard - it looks like vehicles at the event need to be registered. I don't know how that'd work with a hire car?

I mean, I'm sure there's a way, but I don't know it :-)

booked my train tickets before they get super pricey

@hippy - Can sitting around doing nothing but eating biscuits for the last 2 weeks be effective tapering for an endurance event?

Yes.

You'll beat a lot of people who overdo things by trying to squeeze in last minute training.

It's better to go into a race with lower fitness being pumped for it, compared to higher fitness but feeling jaded and tired.

But... what sort of biscuits?
