Very impressed with the racing skills of these guys. I'm just a once a week rider, and couldn't even start to bring in my road racing fitness.
Let it go and flow, that seems to be the key, and something I was incapable of. moments when I could build up my speed seemed to make things easier? but then I'd stall or panic for a moment and that would ruin the whole lap.
Lessons were learnt though.
26er and 29er can live side by side (horses for courses)
29ers motor on the off camber.
29ers come with bars that are too wide. In two places I had to get off and manhandle my bike between the trees.
The tyres that are stock on American mountainbikes are crap over here.
Buy more than one club jersey, trees and lycra don't mix.
Your bars didn't fit down the trails??!! Never heard of that! How wide are they?
About 720mm, my old 580s went through.
