Open (18+) - Relay format, this will be the most popular category in the 24 hour event. This is a 4/5 rider category for Men, Women and Mixed. From this there are also additional men sub categories of

Veterans (combined age 170+ for 4 riders, 210+ for 5 riders)
Just For Fun (16+) - Relay, teams of 6-12.
This category is for those who want to soak up the atmosphere, enjoy the social side of the event and not be too inconvenienced with the chore of riding their bikes for more than one or two laps. May suit work groups, clubs or people with low quality lighting systems! Was even used as a stag weekend by one team in 2008 and is more popular every year..
