What sort of people are you after ?

I'm kind-of interested, but
(a) never raced before, and (b) don't own a mountain bike
Assuming I can negotiate my way around (b), what skill level are you looking for? - My usual riding is a gentle tourng pace occasionally shouting at the kids to stop fighting in the bloody trailer.

How many vistalight night-sticks do you need for 24 hours ?!

How many laps do you reckon I'd make on one of those $99
bikes from Big-w ?:)

Actually, more seriously, what sort of mountain biking skills are required for this sort of thing? I ride dirt roads occasionally, but that's VF-far from technical mountain biking skills.

My hand is raised.
I'm not fast.
With no team myself, I was considering a solo effort.
I'm a Canberra resident, 40 something, regular rider with good fitness and skills - but more inclined to survival than racing.

I don't know - how many people give you weird looks on a daily basis?

If it's muddy we found out who can really ride and who are the pseudo racers who train on road bikes.......

There's nearly a kilometre of ~ 10% grade that's followed by some 400(?) metres of 20% singletrack back downhill.

Should I be scared or excited?!

The last time I encountered a 20% grade, it took both of us to push the (touring loaded + trailer) bike to the top of it.

Hmmm... what if it's muddy ;)
