I got into mountain biking about a year and a half ago. Now I'm an avid mountain biker, but I've not raced because I am just too slow. I have total respect for your actions because it is difficult at any age to race mountain bikes and more so at 50+ trying to compete with younger cyclists. I hope you drop them all!
BTW, congrats on your choice of bikes. I too have a Rockhopper, but mine is a 05. They're great bikes but I like the RS Tora on your bike better than the so-so Manitou Axle on mine.
Best of luck with your racing and keep us posted on how it goes.
