Yo, I've raced this venue 4 times in the past couple of years. 24 Hour events are great fun - but they aren't cheap. I'd not say 24HOA is any different than anyone else regarding price ... but their conduct, especially in response to two things kind of wore me out - so, I'm off to do other stuff.
1st, they are VERY sensitive to the topic of their SOLO fee being unreasonable, unfair or otherwise just plain too much (you can google "Stuart, 24HOA, SOLO" come up with the drama).
2nd, they relentlessly remind you at every turn that they were sued and driven into bankruptcy over the use of the term 24 Hours of ________ (fill in the blank). They then continue to remind you that they are the nice guys - all about sport and give you some nice anecdotes to prove their point.
I think I'd rather just go up to Hurkey with some friends and ride all day without the whining - it doesn't help that Ellsworth happens to have the most snobbish demo crew I've ever met ... sadly, they sort of fit in.
Anyway, maybe I'll come and watch ... definitely can't take anything away from you guys riding the event - props to the riders ... that's what it's all about!!
