Sydney gets Mountain Cross Park

Sydney's newest professionally-built mountain cross (aka four-cross) park is to be constructed at Sydney Olympic Park, the site of arguably the most successful Olympic Games ever, according to Bicycling Australia

All the environmental hurdles have been addressed and all the applications made. Start of construction is likely to commence in early August and is expected to take about 6 weeks and will include landscaping the area.

The first major event will be the first round of the national 2005/2006 MTNX series which will be held in conjunction with the Bicycling Australia Bike Show, 21 - 23 October at Olympic Park. Details of the Bike Show are available at www.bicyclingaustralia.com.au.
