Recommend me a First Timer event!!

Right!!

as part of my plan to get fit and get back into mountain biking, i want set my targets on a decent first time cross country event.

obviously its no point being in the next month or so, but within say the next 3 months should be good and give me a good target to aim for.

will also act as an insight into actual XC racing as after reading a lot on the net, that is something i would like to get into next year maybe, so this event would also act as a starting point for that.

cheers

where are you based?

cluffy

that would be a good start, sorry.

im based in gloucestershire, so anything in wales, devon midlands would be fine.

Have a go at the fun race at the next mids xc event at cannock chase, if you do enter it just enjoy yourself and dont worry about it. We've all been there.

http://www.xcracer.com has a list of up and coming events.

Once you've done your first one you'll be back for more!

cluffy

thanks for the heads up mate, that looks a good race and by the sounds of it an intermediate track so should be ok for me, like you say, dont take it to seriously and just enjoy it.

gonna make a point of entering asap so i have a set goal to work to.

stevieboy

Good idea! Once you've paid there's no going back!!!

See you there 8)

anyone know how long the fun race is at the cannock midlands race
