Is Passportes du Soleil for me?

3 mates who I bike with fairly regularly are going (to try) and get tickets next week for Passportes du Soleil.... and they've asked me to go along.
Soooooooooooooooooo, questions for anyone who's done it before!
1. I know my beloved Anthems not up to the visit (if you think she is, please let me know). I'll sell some odds and sods and get a second hand bike for the visit (thinking Giant Trance / Remedy / Commencial meta 55 / Stumpy). Are these suitable?
2. Skill level - biggie for me, I'm happy thrashing around red routes in places like Cannock, Dalby and Winlatter. Usual weekend retreat is Swinley. I'd definitely get myself on a course, Aston Hills 15 min bike ride from home and there's a few guys running skills courses up there. What skills level would I need to be at to do this... if it's black run in Scotland type skills, I may be a bit out of my depth (as would my mates in fairness)
3. General comments or reccomendations.
Thanks all
