Any one entered ?
Dawn to dusk
- Thread starter bandit
- Start date
I want to enter this again on my 1100GS but SWMBO is not so keen. She seems to think that it is beyond my ability and I'm only going to hurt myself or make a fool of myself, but then again, why change the habits of a lifetime? 
I have to wait until my wrist is back to full strength. Also have to fix up the bike.
It is a great event especially the 10 hour overnight section. Nick Plumb has promised that this years night section will be friendlier for big bikes with milder options instead of the full-on enduro bits.
If I'm not up to riding then then I'll still be there to help and spectate.

Just had a crazy thought about doing the dawn to dusk on the XChallenge...

Looks like they are doing the big bike (575cc+) race at night.
How technical is it?

Bum - I would do this with you but am away for work that w/e. Work is always getting in the way of humiliating myself on a dirt bike
, and now with 2 weeks to go i have no chance of sorting it out, and the deadline for entry is tomorrow anyway.

I am in for the 24hr, I did the 5hr Portsmouth Ironman on Sunday that was very tough.
I am dreading the 24hrs.
Any tips from those that have completed this, how often did you stop and fuel/rest your body. Did you have a quick nap at all?
thx all

Mate did the 24hr marathon last year and wn the clubman class, he is very very fit and still found it very hard going, best advice is stop and take a break every couple of laps and just keep going, if you feel the need to sleep then do it as thats when most accidents happen, i have seen a few.
Most important is enjoy and not push yourself early on but try and get most laps in during the night as it's only around 5-7 miles and not the 16 in the day.
