I wanted to do a race this weekend, and the X-Terra race in Jacksonville, Fla., is close to home. So I decided to go for it. I have a mountain bike, but it's a decade old Schwinn that isn't very nice. I've also never ridden it on trails (we don't have many options for mountain biking in my area). However, the ride is only 13 miles, and I'm fairly sure that my old Schwinn can make it. Is there anything I should know about riding the trails heading into the race?
