totally agree with this regarding fitness and skill practice. I would also say who on earth cares if the "MTB elite" accept you???? what is an MTB elite anyway? ride for you. with the bike, trails and time you have available. and with your friends if you like. although you might need to get used to riding alone for a few years... at some point you'll have your kids to ride with which is rather cool even if you are on the most uncool green trails! and now that my girls are teenagers I am starting to get at least some of my time back and that is also great!
