Do you recon it would be mad to attempt the 100 miles on a ss mtb?

anyone else intrested?
I did the Selkirk Merida on a singlespeed. That was really daft so why not?
People do >100 miles at 24hr solo races on SS and I've seen quite a few people at Merida's on SS, that's 50-70 miles.
SDW has been done on one both ways in under 24 hours. Rigid 29er I believe.
It's the only way to go...
Gears and suspension are for old frail people 🙂
(or people who want to go fast)
I'm doing Fatties 100 miles to no-where on my SS
Go for it. Might be worth selecting a slightly easier gear than you're normally used to if you've got any doubts. It'll feel silly at the start but you'll be grateful once you get near the end.
I did 47 miles on my ss cross bike the other day in the peaks, only 5 miles were on road. So yeh, easily "doable" i'd say
As it seems comfortably far away at the moment, I could be interested in having a go on the s/s, if the diary's free. Anyone else up for it (apart from skankin_giant)?
