Default 12hour race in OC

I found a advertisement card at the Rock'n'Road counter today that led me to this website. http://www.teamepinephrine.com/12hour/12hour.html


I've been wanting to try one of these things for a couple months now. With all this rain i don't know if i'll be able to get in shape fast enough so I don't think I'll do this one. Maybe just sign up and do a couple of laps throughout the day or something (there is a 70 entry fee though ). Has anyone else done these types of events? Are there a lot of hardcore racers or is it pretty laid back? I think it'd be cool to just hang out with a bunch of mountainbikers and have fun but I don't want to get in anybody's way whose trying to compete.

I've never heard of the flying B ranch but it sounds really cool. Is it like a mtb park or something?

Flying B has some sweet trails.

Go have fun , ride some, drink some brews , hang out. Let faster riders pass and all will be cool.

Only if it rains alot the week before the event. Last year it rained about 1 1/2 weeks before the event. Still went on. Blackstar was a mess, there was snow on backside of Santiago Peak and the dirt road out of Trabucco was a 4 mile mud pit.

The laps are about 8 miles long. Each lap has about 1600' of climbing. 40% frieroad/60% singletrack.

Registration closed earlier this week.

So far only total of 64 teams signed up.
