The Race

The 24 hours of Adrenalin race started off Noon Saturday with a 1.5 km LeMans style run to the bikes. After the run the riders took turns doing laps on the 23km course layed out at Hardwood Hills. The race continued for 24 hours and finished at Noon Sunday.

Starting the race for team Dark Horse was Scott. He was chosen to be the starter by default (no one else wanted to).
ABOVE: Scott was somewhere in this massive line up.
With the sound of the gun the runners were off and the race had begun.

The main reason for this start is to spread the riders out before getting on their bikes.

Team Dark Horse's 4th man on the course was Martin (BELOW). If you look closely on Martin's forehead you can see the remains of a nasty spill on the BMX downhill portion of the course. Martin is a team trooper 'cause this crash did not slow him down one bit.
The final rider of Team Dark Horse was Andrew.

The combined team effort placed the team in 30th position out of 67 teams in their division (5 man w/combined age between 100-150). 3 riders on the team had problems with their lights so the final placing would have been higher.
