Here’s the Press Release in full…

“Challenge the Day!”

In a celebration of 24 hour MTB soloing, we are proud to announce an event that takes 24 hour endurance racing to it’s pure soul by introducing – 24 Hours of Exposure – The UK’s first Solo 24 Hour MTB Championships.

24 hour soloing is fast becoming one of the most popular categories in the world of endurance racing and now we aim to provide a tailor made opportunity for riders to pit themselves against their peers, the elements and whatever the mountain bike gods deem fit to throw at riders in pursuit of their goals. Only their strength of both body and mind stands between them and the ultimate aim: the UK Solo MTB Championship title.

This will be a true test worthy of championship status incorporating a tantalising and motivating 10-mile + loop around some of the best all weather trails that our partners, 7Stanes, can provide in Newcastleton.

For the winner in each category there will be an exclusive, specially designed championship jersey along with a handsome prize purse, not forgetting a few random spot prizes thrown in to encourage everyone to complete this arduous mission.

Open to anyone over the age of 18, novice or experienced, everyone will receive first class support with all facilities right on trackside from light charging by our title sponsor Exposure Lights through to mechanics and tech support, to make this one of your best ever 24 hr experiences.
