Unsupported 12 or 24 hour races???
Sep 17th, 2016, 2:23pm
 
Anybody know of--or have done in the past--an unsupported 12 or 24 hour race anywhere in the country?

Adults should have fun so kids will want to grow up!

For every mile of road there's two miles of ditch.

I'd rather be sorry for something I did than for something I didn't do.

If by "unsupported" you mean "free", I think there was a 24 hour thing at White Rock Lake a couple of years ago.  It did ask for a contribution, but was otherwise rather freeform.  I didn't do it, as it sounded like Bedlam to me.
 
You are invited to check out The Texas Time Trials, starting next Thursday at Glen Rose.  The 24 hour starts Friday at 18:00.  All the races are timed to end some time on Saturday (unless someone does the early start on the 500 miler and goes really fast).  GHQ is in the little park next to the Sonic coming into Glen Rose on SH67.

Generally, hoodoo and rao have unsupported divisions. There are likely others today I can't recall at the moment

By unsupported I mean no support crew required.
 
Thanks for the info.......

I've done plenty of these, actually I quite prefer them over crewed support ones.     As Bob mentioned, the texas time trial is a good one to consider here locally.  But beware  its not a skinny tire ride,  those roads are rough

But rereading this thread, you don't want to do those I think. You're looking for loop based races where you don't need crew. Not exactly the same.

Calvin's Challenge, Mid-Atlantic, and Bike Sebring are 3 that come to mind. Calvin's is in Ohio, and Sebring is just outside of Miami, FL. The Mid-Atlantic 12/24 is in North Carolina. It is similar to the one in Glen Rose that if you ride more than 400 miles you qualify for RAAM and the roads are way better. Hope this helps.
