Hello. First time poster, some time lurker.
I'm coming out of hibernation into the new, mad world of MTB'ing (the last bike I purchased was in 1994...but a new one is on the way) - and am wondering if there are any "casual," "smallish" XC races to be found near SD. Preferably towards the end of summer.
I'm just looking for some motivation to put extra miles in (as if my expanding waistline wasn't enough), but I don't want to make my debut at a big deal Big Bear event, since I assume they're even more crowded and agro than they were a decade ago.
Thanks for any leads, and take pity on the poor fellow coming out of retirement trying to figure out all this disc brake, dual suspension, 27 gear nonsense.
