Last did it in 2010 in a messing about team of 4 (5?) and we had to steal some underage lad who was faster than us all due to others dropping out.
Signed up for the Torchbearer, first solo, first 12 hour (Longest ride is 11 hours 3 years ago) with 2 others doing 24hr solo and we don’t have much in the way of pitcrew (one lad is an old hand at this type of thing though, got 2nd at the isle of man longest day race the other week). I’m not fast but have been averaging 140km per week so aiming to finish and anything over 8 laps or so would be nice.
Wearing a green MAD top on a black & white centurion LRS (looks like a hardtail), bringing a spare set of wheels shod in ice spikes (I’m not forking out on dedicated mud tyres for 1 event) which I hope not to have to use.
Any tips for a solo novice apart from don’t stop?
