This is a sad day for mountain bike racing in the Southeast, but I can’t say that I didn’t see it coming. 24-hour racing is, unfortunately, a quickly-dying breed. 24 Hours of Georgia will be buried next to the fresh graves of the 24-hour mountain bike worlds, which was recently canceled in August of 2012, and 24 Hours of Moab, which was also canceled after the 2012 event.
