re competing solo or cat... I believe that the intensity of the competition would really depend on individuals or teams for that matter, that is how competitive you are. after seeing a solo rider falling to his side after hitting a stone just the size of a regular tomato and going his way as if i was watching a movie in slomo (yeees, slooomooo....) i asked to myself, what the heck are these people doing to themselves? ;D hey peeps if you want a better chance, join in the mix categ...lots of monsters at the all men and solo categs...hey W! wanna join? but honestly peeps, i think i'll die of loneliness if i go solo. didn't you see one of the riders of the winner of the mixed cat. the competition was so intense he crashed on his last lap. non-competitive solo riders ride to finish and join for fun and experience. joining a team will boost your chances of taking a podium finishing. it won't only depend on how strong your riders are but on how your team strategy works. solo or team cat, you'll be lonely on the trail. but you won't be if you're resting at the base camp. i wasn't that bothered last year because i had friends also competing. i chat with them if i'm getting bored, tired or crazy

im trying out the solo category becoz i havent tried this.
i've tried being in a team and i find it difficult. i put too much pressure on myself for the team to be a finisher.
unlike if you're solo, you dont have anybody to blame but yourself. failure is isolated to you alone and you dont have to nag your team mates. ;D
but of course, i'd suggest being in a team as well. its fun as well on a different scale. its just that being on solo can either be fun or serious. in a team its all about business. ;D
i'll just fix the list for clarification:
SOLO 1. mountguitars 2. freeman 3. dragunov707 4. 'Bee' - i'll bring 5 cases of beer again, hehehe.... 5. retzel 6. king 7. mzmn 8. r a u l 9. mojiks 10. allan 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. . . 1000.
TEAM 1. radical1962 2. LaMok 3. Tofi --- 5 big slabs of spare ribs ;D 4. Noel 5. fattire 6. 7. 8. 9. . . 1000.
anybody else want to join the 24 hrs race?
by the way, for folks who dont want to join but only wants to watch or mingle, you may do so. you may also make camp on the camping grounds w/ us racers as well. this'll be fun. ;D

alibangbang a solo competitor did 54 laps in 24hrs...imagine that.. and we only did 57 laps as a team but still managed to place 8th out of 22 teams in the all mens categ hehe! yup, but i must agree, it all depends on your one's intention in joining the race...its only gonna be as hard as you want it be specially in the solo category...but this will be my "fearless" forecast...once the competive spirit within kicks in, jon and paul, (specially jon ;D) they will be pedalling their tongues out till they are up to their bellybuttons hahaha!

isnt that awesome? killing yourself with the one thing you like the most? biking? hehehe. ;D so this is it. there's no reason why XC bikers from all walks of life shouldnt be joining the race. i mean, other than trying to kill yourself, there's good company, food and even booze, hehehe. ;D doesnt happen everyday. in fact, it'll be my last 24 hrs race. the next time, bruce and i will be selling camote tops next year, hehehe. ;D guys, any idea where to buy chamois cream and what brand? where and how much? thanks.

Dragunov:
There's a store here that sells bukopie, ube pie and kasava cake that really taste so good but the problem is, after eating, it makes me want to poo poo right away. So if I would bring some I would advice our teams not to eat. yung ibang team nalang hehehe!
Yukon:
We will take your suggestion, we'll see if she wants to join again.

Retzel, That was me. I crashed in the last lap. My front tire slipped in the loose gravel while I was pedalling like mad on the downhill part, and my forehead hit a small stone. I guess the powergel caused me to become too hyper that day,hehehe.
I remember Tolits kinda got scared when he saw me with a bloody jersey and forehead.
Hope it wont happen this year. Knock on wood.

wow! jon and mon! brokeback jelly!! ;D Pete, you shouldn't use that kind of jelly. I'll be content if I simply just finish the minimum number of laps. Then it's be camping for me. Don't want to bike myself to death yet. I'll reserve that for next year. But who knows? If the competitive animal in me kicks in, I might want to chase Paul and Jon and eat their dust.
