So it's quite addictive

Got my new MTB on Friday and I love it. Not properly ridden off-road before and had been using my road bike of late, however that might not get used much now!
Went out today and just rode around on the trails etc near me today. Getting muddy was just like being 10 again! Far more enjoyable riding off road than on it. I have no skills yet, am considering a course of some sort as all I could think whilst going downhill was "avoid those rocks, avoid those rocks!" and probably was too tense to enjoy it.
One question though, it was sandy (before last nights rain) and there is a cruchy/grinding type noise from the bottom bracket when I pedal. Not too loud but disconcerting, is it sand in there and do I need to give it extra lube?
Cheers
