This years 24 hr races were washed out by foul weather but here's one for the 24hr hardmen - what was your fave 24 hr race and why?

Mine was Trentham 2003 - red hot,hottest weekend of the year and my first 24 hr race,awesome.The trails here made it one of the, if not the best ,24 hr race venues in the UK till the monkeys came along and put the kibosh on it.

Trentham 2005, after a week of rain the sun god smiled on us for a couple of days and the course was drying nicely during the day, went boggy at night then dried nicely for the rest of the sunday.

T'was also a nice technical course.

There was no Trentham in 2005,it was at Catton.Was it 04 you're on about?That was a muddy affair after weeks of heavy rain.

For me it has to be the first Strathpuffer a few yearas ago. It was so cold that my bike kept freezing and I had to take it into the massage tent to defrost. We were in a team of 3 and the other two dropped out just after midnight. I rode until dawn and I remember the start of the descent in deep mud and the sun coming up, the view was amazing. I totally humiliated myself that morning when I got changed into warm stuff after riding and decided to have a massage. Brain obvioulsy not working and I dropped my trousers to get onto the table and didn't have any pants on. The girls were very nice about it!!! Idiot.

Clic24 this year was beautiful.

The night ride was particularly serene.
