The only MTB racing I've ever done was the Tree Farm and Torn Shirt off-road triathlon. So, should I go ahead and pop into the Beginner class or sport class (female)? I assume there is no difference in distance.
Is this a mass start or wave start?

the last few years its been starting at 30 seconds apart. So one rider gets sent out, then 30 seconds later the next...

Day of registration and check in ends at Noon! no later. Sorry but our volunteers start at 6am...which means by Noon they have been working (For free) for 6 hours.
This said EVERYONE should be there a minimum of 30-45min's before their scheduled class start time. For example - if you race at 11 am - you need to be in the park and at the registration by 10:15-10:30...allowing us time to get your info into the system and ready for the chip timing.
If you are registering the day of - please try to be there about an hour before your scheduled class start time.
