The group of us that went this year are going back next year. We have spare slot in one of our 4-man teams. Prior experience not required and anyone with a can drink attitude would fit.

For those that don't know Rad am Ring, it's an annual 24 hour relay race round the Nurburgring Nordschleife and GP Strecke. Teams camp at the side of the track, fire up the BBQs, and when one rider comes in the next goes out. Will be 28th-30th July in 2017.

Who wants in?

Great weekend, I entered as a solo, didn't take it seriously at all and was happy with my 8 laps, 2 showers and 6 hours of sleep. This year I'm planning to have a go at both the MTB and road courses (possibly just on one bike).

You don't have to ride a cervelo either....

It's pretty cheap too, only a few drinks more than RideSurrey and these aren't "roads you can ride every other day of the year for free", this is one of the most revered stretches of tarmac in the world... It's an amazing experience and those night laps are epic. We'll pretend it's going to competitive right up until the first beer is opened on the campsite on Friday night, we have an great plot on the GP circuit for our pits area too and loads of space.

And what's JsquaredJim up to the background? It's the photo that keeps on giving!

No idea why I'm pulling that expression in CoolC's WAITING photo either. Maybe he said 'smile' and that's the best I can do.

I did resist posting the picture of Pablo in a very camp pose.

Update: PulsatingStar has taken the spare slot mentioned in the OP but we can accommodate one more in our team 2. Once that's taken though we'd need another four to make up a whole new team, so for those tempted now's the time to jump in.

I'm in.

After a year with minimal training, it's nice to have a line in the sand.
And a solid reason for a new bike as well.

Looks like I will need to polish up though on funny walks?

Update

That's the second team complete now. That means we've filled the teams we registered on spec and pre-paid.

If more people want to come I'm happy for them to use this thread to organise themselves into a third 4-man team. Or it's possible to enter as a pair, or even do it solo. All would be welcome to hang out on our plot.
