Red Bull is putting on a 12 hour gravity race Saturday, October 10, 2009, at the Angle Fire Resort, NM. With categories for solo, partners, or team, it looks to be a test of some serious endurance. Your cross country buddies ever ridicule you for a lack of fitness? It’s your chance to prove their skinny knobbed butts wrong, over some of the fastest and gnarliest terrain on the continent.
Think you can handle 12 hours of descending at once? Starting at 9am, the race ends at 9pm, with the choice of three courses to choose from. Like other 12 or 24 hour format races, only one rider from each team is allowed on the course at a time, with one rider and bike per chair on the lift. You’ll need to bring your lights too- if you don’t have a high powered lamp, riders will be barred from the chair after dark.
THE 12TH HOUR IS THE DARKEST
