Endurance racing

[crawfman]

I plan on doing my first endurance race middle/late September. I'll be doing a mountain bikeing endurance race as a member of a 3 person team. I'm a roady, so i'm new to mountain biking. I'm especially new to any type of endurance racing. I was just wanting to hear from anyone who has ever done endurance mountain bike racing and maybe you can share some knowledge. Thanks.

I haven't done any endurance races just yet, but I'm scheduled for a 4-person 18-hour race in this mid-august. Also, I'm relaying in an off-road half iron triathlon (bike leg) come this Sept.

As far as training goes, you just need to get out there and ride often! Everyday's nice. :)

Which race are you doing ?
I too am somewhat new to mountain biking and these types of races really interest me.
I would like to do the Vermont50 next year. www.vermont50.com
Also in Vermont is the Jay Challenge, a 64 miler. www.jaychallenge.com


It's just been hard stealing time to do the longer training rides.... :rolleyes:
