Show Notes
A formidable team consisting of former guest Esteban "Yeti" Zimmermann, Othmar, Bryson and Pascal signed up for the 24 hour race in Schötz and we sat down to debrief shortly after this very unique experience. Naturally, we first had to answer the obvious question of WHY?! (doh, why not?), but we also dive deep into our preparation, our planning, our camp setup as well as the overall format of the race. Of course we discuss the ups, downs, and all the cramps of the race weekend and share our best tips and insights for 24 hour racing. We did finish the race in 8th place in our category after a late rally on Sunday morning and we're stoked on the result. Also, many thanks to our listeners that submitted inputs for the recap - we had a good laugh reliving the experience, despite Bryson's significant post-cramp pains!
Looking for more inspiration to get involved in some racing? Why don't you have a listen to our recaps from the Swiss Enduro Series in Leukerbad or our Trans Madeira Debrief? Races and similar events like the Grischa Trail Ride are always a great opportunity to ride bikes, meet new people and to hang out with friends old and new!

For this one, we sit down exactly how we imagined it in the early days of the podcast: Just two good buddies having a chat, talking about bikes and things that could be. After almost 4 years and over 80 episodes, we could finally make it happen!
