I know a lot of you include mountain biking in your training for moto so I thought you might enjoy this. This past weekend I hit up the 24 Hours In The Old Pueblo mountain bike race held in the desert north of Tucson, AZ. Think of it as a cross between the 24 hours of Glen Helen and Burning Man Smile . It was a great time and these people are completely unhinged for their sport which is always cool to see!

This is what 24 Town looked like at night... That's the main camp in the foreground and the white lights in the distance are all bikes. Around 900 bikes on the course for 24 hours straight.

Awesome pics! These are some core MF'ers...I ride a lot but not sure I want to ride 24hrs in a row... Moab has a 24 as well, I watched it a few years ago when I was out there just free riding.
