Latest mountain bike news

Ever wonder how people get into doing those 24-hour mountain bike races? I mean, plenty of people participate in 24-hour races as a part of a team but you gotta be made of steel to tackle the race solo. Only a few people in the world can actually do this and one of them is Sean McDevitt. McDevitt is a designer for Mountain Hard Wear and there is a <a href="http://blog.mountainhardwear.com/2008/01/just_one_more_lap.html">good story</a> over on the blog about how he got into 24-hour solo racing. My favorite quote from the article: <blockquote>"When asked to describe the experience of such a race, Sean uses the word 'horrific.' He quotes a biking adage stating that in a 24-hour race 'you come face-to-face with your soul.'"</blockquote> If you want to see just what it's like to compete in such a race I highly recommend watching <a href="http://24-solo.com/">24 Solo</a>, the documentary about Chris Eatough and his quest for a 7th straight 24-solo world title.  In the film you actually get the sense that on more than one occasion Chris and his competitors come face-to-face with their souls as they slog it out on the <a href="http://www.singletracks.com/php/trail.php?id=580">1996 Olympic MTB course</a> in Conyers, GA.

Only a few people in the world can actually do this and one of them is Sean McDevitt. McDevitt is a designer for Mountain Hard Wear and there is a <a href="http://blog.mountainhardwear.com/2008/01/just_one_more_lap.html">good story</a> over on the blog about how he got into 24-hour solo racing. My favorite quote from the article: <blockquote>"When asked to describe the experience of such a race, Sean uses the word 'horrific.' He quotes a biking adage stating that in a 24-hour race 'you come face-to-face with your soul.'"</blockquote> If you want to see just what it's like to compete in such a race I highly recommend watching <a href="http://24-solo.com/">24 Solo</a>, the documentary about Chris Eatough and his quest for a 7th straight 24-solo world title.  In the film you actually get the sense that on more than one occasion Chris and his competitors come face-to-face with their souls as they slog it out on the <a href="http://www.singletracks.com/php/trail.php?id=580">1996 Olympic MTB course</a> in Conyers, GA.
