the only race i have ever done was one of the Gorrick ones. it was in the days when I was fitter, and i could out climb lots of the people but kept fucking up on anything technical and infuriating the people who were behind me.
I've only raced 24hr enduros in Oz and everyone is pretty cool at those. "Proper" XC is probably seriuz bizniz for lots of racers and at the moment I don't think I could outclimb myself.
It would mean I'd be out the back quick and shouldn't bother anyone until I get lapped :)
