Men's world and Australian national solo 24-hour champion Jason English was a comfortable winner of the gruelling Merida 24 Hour mountain bike race at Old Hidden Vale, west of Brisbane.
English, from Port Macquarie in New South Wales, completed 32 laps of the 14.3km course, covering more than 450km after starting off at mid-day on Saturday and finishing at noon today.
He finished well ahead of Queenslanders Rowan Crawford and Sean Bekkers, who both rode more than 400km.
Victorian national title holder Jessica Douglas covered 350km to win the women's event, with Queenland's Rachel Edwards and Katie Heynes second and third respectively.
Event organiser Peter Creagh of Tailwind Promotions said riders were fortunate to race in fairly mild and dry conditions overnight with a minimum of seven degrees Celsius and a full moon to aid with visibility.
More than 280 riders, including 100 solo riders, competed in the race in both individual and team categories.
The main solo riders used the weekend's event as a warm up for the World Solo Championships at Mount Stromlo in Canberra in October.
Creagh said Old Hidden Vale, near Grandchester, will be bidding to stage the 2013 24-hour world championships.
