Is anyone planning on doing the National x-country? That will be my big target for the end of the season.

Nike Waffle XC Kieren, looking to upgrade to this years model as the look brilliant and the reviews are good.

I know this question has come up before, but should I buy XC spikes or fell shoes? I'm not super efficient or light and wear Brooks Adrenaline 7s on the road. Kind of hoping you'll say spikes though as they're cheaper and, let's face it, look cooler too!

Motorbreath, you need spikes. And the Nike Zoom Waffles are fab (try and get the 2007 version). If you're planning on doing some fell, multiterrain or trail races, you will need some trail shoes as well though.
