Olympic hopefuls support Dalby Forest World Cup bid

Top British mountain bikers visited Dalby Forest in North Yorkshire as the final preparations are being made to submit a bid to hold a UCI Mountain Bike Cross Country World Cup event there in May of 2010.

Organisers have been encouraging cycling fans to support the bid by cheering on British Olympians - or taking part themselves - in the Dalby round of the British Mountain Bike Race Series cross country mountain bike race set for May 10. The race will serve as a test event for the proposed World Cup and will be the first to use the new World Cup course.
