The Kielder Chiller 24 is a 24 hour MTB race that takes place in Northumberland's Kielder Forest. BikeRadar sent a team of four intrepid riders to take it on, and it didn't go well.

Staffers Joe, Reuben, and Jack were joined by Tom Wragg of Ruby the trail dog fame, forming a quad team that rode the event as a relay.

Watch our video to find out how they got on, and what they learned from this (predictably) harrowing experience.
