The vibe is very relaxed and friendly. To what degree you let your
competitive streak take over is up to you. All are there for a good
time.

And you so don't need any training before you enter.

Just try to come down well before the 6:30pm start time, so you can
check out the course and make sure you have decent lights; min 10W
White front and one red rear (flashing).

Cheers,

I reckon the Dirt-Crits are great. Good fun atmosphere and grades range
from easy to very competitive.
I had a goal this year to get into MTB racing and I would've been happy just
to attend maybe half a dozen races but the dirt crits give you a chance to
focus on what you're doing as they happen every week.
For me it's a good way to guage my progress but for a lot of people it's
just something fun to do on thursday night.
I never expected after coming less than half way down B-grade 8 weeks ago
that I'd be riding in A-grade so soon.
