Mountain Bike Racing - 2005 Stump Jump

Bikeforums.net is a forum about nothing but bikes.

Just signed up for my first bike race, feeling kinda sick about it atm, LOL.
2005 Stump Jump (http://www.stumpjump.org/) :eek:
I've ridden there but never seen the race and just really cant imagine racing on a course where the trail is not handlebar width at times ...
I can't wait :D

iv never raced, will soon, dont expect to win just have fun, and if you end up finishing mid pack, be content with that!
I'm entering the Stump Jump too. I've never ridden any Croft Trails.
Have you ridden any trails at Issaqueena Lake in Clemson? Any comparisons?
I've ridden Issaqueena Lake Trail, Dalton Road Ride, and some other unnamed rides at Clemson.
Southside @ Croft is more technical and has some really abrupt changes in elevation compared to Issaqueena (or at least what I rode in 3 trips there). Much of Southside is tight single track and much of the course is very susceptible to being very muddy after rain.
Here is a web site that has great info on the trails http://www.umba.net/
