Just like the title. Anybody around here ride those solo? What do you do about sleep (if any) and ensuring that you eat/drink enough? What about having enough lighting?

I have done 24 hours before in a team, but am wondering about giving it a shot solo.

Thanks!

So I looked at the standings from last year's "24 Hours in the Old Pueblo" near Tucson. This is the one I have ridden in a group before. Tinker Juarez won first in the solo class, going almost 300 miles in 24 hours!!!! :eek: Holy Crap! It would be fun to race "against" a mountain biking legend (even despite the repeated lapping and but whipping).
