24 Hour Mountain Bike Races are a form of Endurance mountain bike racing where solo competitors or teams race for a period of 24 hours. The 24 Hours of Canaan (July 13-14, 1992) is accepted as the first sanctioned 24 hour mountain bike event (24 Hour of Canaan - History ). At the 24 Hours of Indiglo (later renamed 24 Hours of Adrenalin) 17-year-old Ed Hunt became the first solo competitor at a 24 hour mountain bike event (24 Hours of Adrenalin Hall of Fame ). These races attract a wide variety of riders from elite professional racers, experienced non-professional racers to amateurs. Because the races are held off road, most locations are rather from towns, so it is typical for racers to camp out near the start/finish line. Sometimes racers may arrive several days ahead of time, to claim a good camping spot, preview the course or acclimate to altitude. As a result many of them also have a festival component to them including kid's races, bands, beer tents and an expo area. ==Solo Categories== Many different categories can exist, depending on what the race director chooses to offer. Typical categories are: *Elite Male *Elite Female *Single Speed *Age Group 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「24 hour mountain bike races」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
