Hey everyone. I'm from Vermont, and just bought a 2005 Norco VPS A-Line. My goal to start racing, but definitely want to know what I'm up against. Im fairly new to Mountain biking but I do plan on getting a feel for my bike for a while before I start. I however, do not want to rush into it, because, let's face it, nobody like to get stomped ;). Any tips would be greatly appreciated including training, is my bike ready to tackle a good race or does it need changes, and any of your opinions on my goal. Thanks.
P.S. - I know the owner of my LBS, he races XC and is very good at it [Im aware I won't be racing XC]. He knows of most local races around here so I'm not worried about finding a place to race, just how to get started.
