Which I think is respectable for being my first ever race.
I just signed myself up for the Offroad Ontario circuit! They run a series of Xcountry events and a series of Enduro events. I was advised to run in Novice A for my first season and then jump up or down a class depending on how I do. The upside to Novice A is its part of the afternoon races. The downside is that we are last to go so the track will be ripped up by everyone else already.
I don't think I'll be showing up to every event. I just really want to sharpen my skills and see how I compare to the rest of the world. So follow me here as I try out my first season of racing. I'll try to post pictures and write-ups from every race I go to.
Any advice you have for someone getting into racing would be really appreciated. So wish me luck and health! Cya out there!
Here is the bike I'll be on. Its a mostly stock 2012 EC300. It'll get a skidplate and a new rear tire before the season starts.

I don't understand Novice A? So is it an A class? Or is it a Novice Class? Probably shouldn't be racing in an A class for your first year. Anyway good luck and have fun!!
