Mountain Bike Racing - So I'm going to do my first race on Sunday...

This may should like a silly question, but should i register in the beginner or sport class? I have been riding for about three years now and feel comfortable riding out of my comfort zone for the sport distance, but i have never raced before. Should i just swallow my pride and enter the beginner? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot and happy trails!

Good luck, and just have fun.

Werd. i think thats going to be my game plan. i don't even know if i'll like racing. i'll just give it a go and be open minded about the whole situation.

There is never shame in beginning at beginner.

If it's your first race do beginner, so that you get a chance to learn the ropes of racing. You may find it tougher than you think especially if you have some sand baggers racing in beginner.

good point. i'm pretty sure i'm doing beginner. i might not do this sunday's race though. i think i'm waiting unitll next satuday. i will keep everyone interested updated. thanks for everyones input!

Don't go out too fast. Have fun.
