Ever looked at those crazy two-legged fools tackling one of the growing number of HellRunner events (trudging up the “Hills of Hell” and through the “Bog of Doom”) and thought, “If only I could do that! But on a bike…” Well now’s your chance with entries already open for the 2012 HellRider (Saturday, June 2). Comprising separate 5km run and 8km+ MTB loops, your team of three or five (or for the particularly insane, solo entries) have eight 8hours to complete as many laps as possible, with rules stating that each team member must complete at least one run/ride during the event and only one team member can be in action at any one time.
Organisers describe it as, “An eight-hour team duathlon of devilish proportions! Get your friends, mates and colleagues together and tackle ‘The Devil’s Passage’. Seek penitence as you are punished by the soul-sapping ‘Teeth of Cerberus’ and have your senses awoken by the Bath of Beelzebub!” Sound like fun? Cyclo certainly tempted – entry costs £40.00 per person (with free HellRider Tech-T thrown in). For more information and entry details visit: www.hellrider.co.uk
