See - you've been training in the dark already!

I'm sure you'll have a wonderful time. My first 24hour race was in a team of 6 women and it was such fun. We called ourselves the "Dirt Daisies" and even bought ourselves matching jerseys with daisies. There is something about sharing those night sessions that creates a great camaraderie.

I'm feeling a little jealous of your 12hour race now because I have a 24hour race in two and a half weeks and I'm feeling a little under-prepared and under presure. I'm going out for my first night ride in about 4months tomorrow night!
