The crowd awaiting in eager anticipation of the rider taking a mud bath, and they were not disappointed.

Well the 24 Hours of Summer Solstice, put on by Chico Racing, is coming up in less than 2 weeks at Albion Hills. The need to get out on the trails is strong with this one.

Some things to consider, especially for a camping weekend at events such as this one... make a list of things well in advance. It may seem a little anal now, but just wait until arriving at the venue to find that something important has been forgotten.

Proper nutrition is a must. At this particular event, there will be plenty of food, but things like higher protein snacks and drinks are also important.

Some basic tools, a few spare tubes and tires should also be on the list.

For creature comfort, consider a good camping chair, dry tent and sleeping bag to fit the season.
