Giant XGC - help me?

Hi
I have been wanting to get into mountain biking for a long time (but never actually had a bike :oops: ) so my mate sold me this bike for 50quid. I will be using it to do the red run @ Dalby forrest.
im not even sure if this bike is any good but for 50quid I thought it would get me started
I have been looking at all the bikes on here with great envy (you guys have some sweet rides). Anyway is it worth me saving up and just buying a new bike or is it worth upgrading this one?
thanks in advance!
p.s. my first run on this bike is tomorrow @ Dalby Forrest

Looks like a decent thing to start out on. Dont know if its worth upgrading, if something breaks, replace it on the cheap perhaps. To spend too much on upgrading on it would defeat the purpose, when you could just get a newer bike.
But hey, thats my point of view, just thrash it, see if you get bitten.

Depends if you find you like mountain biking or not. If you do, then its probably worth saving up for something new and shiny.
