I'm going to enter an XC race this Season, the last one I did was in 1991 - pretty sure I DNF'd, hence the 23 year gap 😉

So I'm 38 and definitely fitter than in '91 - what category should I go for?

Fun?
Masters?
Open?

Suggestions of Southern / South Western races also gladly received!

Thanks

Open is a good place to start!

Southern XC races are very good.

Open for sure, masters can be obscenely fast 😯
