Mountain Mayhem 2008 (UK 24hr race)

[rob.northcott]

Is anybody else planning on entering Mountain Mayhem this year? I'm assuming pretty much all the people who normally do MM are going to be away riding lobsters. As the only unicyclist in the world who isn't lobstering (or so it feels!), I'd quite like to do the MM.

So it seems I have two options:
- Enter it solo, take it fairly easy and see what happens
- Find at least one team mate.

The second option would be much more desirable, so is anybody else up for it?

(It's the weekend starting 20th June by the way)

Also there is the Sleepless in the Saddle race later in the year of course - presumably the usual suspects will all be back by then though.

There's no pairs category at mountain mayhem.

You should do it solo.

Simple.

I was hoping to enter this year, although not done much riding recently. The date is just after my exams finish so i would be free, but not sure how much time I could commit to training, especially as I want to row next term. Still, might well consider it if you can't get anyone else.

I was hoping to do it this year but unfortunately it clashes with the circus arts festival I am helping to organise.

Anyone not riding lobsters or causing mayhem in the mountains will of course be welcome.

I'm up for it again and I promise to train more so that I won't be quite as slow as last year.
With most of the regulars away, doing something to a lobster, it will inevitably be a beautiful sunny weekend with sun burn and dehydration the only problems.

If they have a tamden catagory you (Rob and Ian) could tie your muni's together and do a social solo...

Didn't realise there's no pairs category. OK, we need four then - or I'll have to do it solo.

If Ian and Dave are up for it then we ought to be able to find one more.

Tue: nice avatar!

I was admiring that as well, although I'm not so keen on Tue's suggestion of a tandem!!!!

I'm certainly up for it, and living locally I was thinking I would go and bag a good pitch as soon as camping opens, stick up a couple of small tents and then go home again.
