24 Hour Race.
Recently, Last weekend I did a 24 Hour Mountain Bike Race! It was Insane :w00t:
What happens is that you drive down to "Rotorua", Set up your Camp area, And then go see the briefing about how it all works.
You're in groups of 5 or less and you do laps around this course which is 8km in distance (each lap) Through woods and Open areas, Really good! And then Someone starts (Whic hwas me) and then you go fighting off all these other bikers, Do a lap and then come back to your tent area and give your bike to your next rider OR you can keep going and do as many laps as you can.. Each lap takes about 30-40mins and I always did 2 laps at the leat. (I did the most laps out of my group) and you keep doing that for 24 HOURS!!! Inbetween your turn you eat or sleep to get some rest, It was so awesome! Our team was called the "Milky Rastas" Milky meaning White/European and Rastas like Rastafarians. Haha. I had bright yellow pants with Black, Green, Red and Yellow shirt and other stuff. IT was cool!
So thats what I did for my Weekend and Coming up on thursday and friday I am going on a "Minimal Equipment" tramp and You have to survive by making your own pack from wood and vines. Then you make Snairs and Traps. Should be fun!!!
