Challenge the Day!

Making it's third outing in 2012, "24 Hours of Exposure" and "12 Hours of Exposure" are the UK's first and only 24 hour and 12 hour mountain bike endurance races for solo riders only and in celebration of the increasingly popular and challenging format of solo endurance racing, we'll be crowning the 24 Hour and 12 Hour MTB Champions of Europe and the United Kingdom. Take a look at the event preview video on YouTube.

Once again we've teamed up with long-time endurance race supporters Exposure Lights to provide a unique event worthy of championship status, with a tailor made arena at Rock UK's Whithaugh Park to cater for the specific needs of a solo rider, and producing a specially designed, motivating 11 mile lap using some of the best man-made, all-weather trails our partners 7Stanes Newcastleton have to offer.

The event is open to competent riders new to 24 and 12 hour racing as well as experienced endurance racers of all nationalities with a whole host of championship titles, prizes, spot prizes and rookie awards up for grabs. To find out the specific entry details, please visit the Entry page. And every rider will receive first class race support with help from our sponsors Exposure Lights, Morvelo, Joolze Dymond Photography, Rock UK, 7Stanes, Torq, Juice Lubes, Ergon, USE, Vitesse, XCRacer.com and Saddle Skedaddle.

The ever enthusiastic John Cookson from title sponsors Exposure Lights/USE said:

"Exposure Lights are proud to be built in Britain and are committed to the 24 Hours and 12 Hours of Exposure UK and European Solo MTB Champs.

We love to see mountain bikers challenge themselves in all terrains and conditions and there is no better way to push your experience. The unique Solo-only status of the Championships makes this THE event to put on your list of "must-do" events next year.

There's loads of useful info on the website and loads more coming soon. Good luck with the training and we'll see you all in April!
