20 miles in, 80 more to go. Riding an event called Judgment Day where I have 24 hours to complete 10 trails that equal 100 miles of riding.

I tapped out at 70 miles. We started at 6am and it was around 11pm when we finished the 6th trail. No cramps and my legs felt ok, but I was falling asleep on the trail towards the end. We had 3 trails to go and 30 miles. All I wanted to do at that point was go home and sleep in my bed. 😅 But my friends continued on and I’m sure they will finish. Failure for me, but it’s still the most riding I’ve ever done in such a short period. Going to have the best sleep ever now. #mtb

@mark I’m ULTRA impressed. Well done Mark! Wow.

(PS n00b curiousity: why did you decide to start at 6am? If you had 24 hrs to complete it, wouldn’t a mid-afternoon start have been better, to do half-ish, then sleep, then do the other half-ish?)

@leoncowle the 24 hour time was specifically from 6am to 6 the next day. And the trails chosen for the event were in a configuration where driving alone took up 5 hours of the day. Didn’t help that 2 trails were at state parks so it took forever to get past the gates with so many riders at the event.
@mark Ok, I was wondering if the start time was fixed. Ok, that makes sense. Still, 70 miles is excellent. Well done again!
