Weather isn't looking great.

The organiser said there was fresh snow there during the week.

Just as well we are rock hard mofo's.

Ye guys making a habit of this 24 hour thing. Still trying to get my head around 24 hours on a bike.

That Relentless seems to say what it means in the name by all accounts.

Just from reading gar's twitter updates...it seems ben got sick so they were a man down..... Gar and corny did 11 hours between them and then went to bed for the night and picked it up again in the morning....They finished it but i dont know what position.... I guess gar will fill us in later on when he gets home.

Well things didn't go according to plan, but the course was very good and the weather wasn't too bad.

The 3 of us rode the last lap together and finished it out.
All in, a good experience.

Results and Video are here:
