Man, I'd like to be part of a team, but two weeks before that, I'll be in Brown County riding for 5 days and the following weekend is Gunchie's wedding and will be out of town for that as well. Hmmm.... Like Mielke's expeirence, I echo his sentiments. Being part of a team was really an amazing experience. Schnaufer and I did a 12 hour duo. I'd actually encourage people to do the 24 hour race because while you ride the same amount of distance as a 12 hour duo, you get more time in between. I was having a hard time with food digesting and limited recuperation time. While we placed something like 4,056, we were the FIRST co-ed team of the 12 hour duo teams! Everyone ahead of us were men-only.
