I Raced XC Without Any Training! | Here's What Happened

Entering any race can seem daunting, so we set out to see if you need to be at peak performance to even consider entering. For this, we needed a guinea pig, someone who hasn't ridden a bike in months and in his own words is 'well rested'. Jack has conquered clips, defeated Downhill and embarrassed Enduro. Now it's time for him to tackle XC, with no training and very little knowledge on fueling will he be able to complete 3 gruelling laps in 2 hours?
