We did it - 12 hours of night trace around Bedgebury's single tracks. It was exhausting. The team covered around 180miles (YES!) between the four of us. I did around 50 and stayed up the entire 12 hours to do so. Most of Sunday was pain :)
Highlights include A having to get his chain and rear gears replaced half way through (thankfully the on-site bike shop was open 24hrs), J falling off so may times I lost count, K in the way she turned her tent into an extension of our house (double duvets, pillows, inflatable mattress, etc etc) and the staff running the coffee-shop (also open 24hrs) who we caught sleeping around 04:30.
In the end we raised over £1,000 for charity at http://original.justgiving.com/knebworthnights.

Well done :)
Next year join us for another go at vatternrundan in Sweden (186 miles). The goal is to complete the race under 11 hours :D
Interesting. Shame the sub-9 registrations are full for next year ;)
