Suggestions for mountain bike training? In 2 weeks i will be competing in a 24hr mountain bike race (Mont 24hr). i need to get 'bike fit' quickly but only have access to proper mtb tracks on weekends but i have 260 acres of paddocks around me. the race course is 20.3km ans it is a relay race. i'm in a team of 6 so we are expecting to do 1-2 laps each. Any suggestions or help would be great!

It's amazing I just got my bike and I was going up a hill and immediately the chain broke on me and now I'm sitting here and I'm looking at this post and I'm thinking to myself if only I had the ability to participate in something like this may be I wouldn't have bought such a horrible bike in the first place.
