My 1st mtb race back in 1999.

 

Rode it on a rigid steel hybrid bike with V brakes and wore takkies.

 

I did not know what the arrows on the marker boards meant and managed three dismounts on the big downhill.Luckily my previous sports taught me how to hit the ground without too much damage.

 

Hopefully financial year end schedule will allow me to go.
