So I've finally got round to editing the footage we took at Relentless 24 last year... only six months on... We had such a good time at the event and I thought I might as well post the finished video on here. Relentless 24 is run by No Fuss Events and takes place in October at the Nevis Range track at Fort William. This is the home of the infamous black downhill course (with gondola access), the World Cup XC course and numerous other brilliant trails made up of great technical climbs, fantastic single-track and tons of linking fire roads. The Relentless takes place partly on the World Cup course, partly on the Witches Trail and also on other bits and bobs linking it all together.
I raced as one half of a pair, you can choose from solo, pairs or quads in a team and one member of the team can be on course at any one time, so you just keep one person on the track for as much of the 24 hours of the race as you possibly can... Sadly I didn't have the technology to video whilst riding at that time so there's no footage of the track itself, which was pretty technical and after a while very muddy and very slippery.
This is definitely an event we'll be doing again, although possibly as a team of four. In a pair, you really don't get as much time between laps as you might wish you could have whereas in a four you'd get a few hours between each 10 mile lap...
I'll be posting about the races I'm considering taking part in during 2010 at a later date, but for now, here's Relentless 24 2009.
