Booked in for this race as it's a good course, and worth it to see the roadies falling off going down the hilly rooty sections

Question DH bike be alright to race with. Caamber is off road ( pieces)

Wide handle bars on it to go through tight trees.
Heavy up hill but good fun down them.
Any advise be good .
Dont fancy be dirt bikes (Saddle low ) or my hard tail (to heavy ) .
