Dalby UCI XC Bid

[Ben_Saville]

Hey guys,

Dalby are putting a bid in to host a 2010 XC race, and are hosting an event there in May to try and convince the relevant people.

One of the things they need is riders...
But they also need a good crowd!

Now at first I thought, boring... Men in lycra etc.
However, think of the positives... Improvements and extra spending at Dalby to improve existing and perhaps make new trails.

Then I read the http://www.forestry.gov.uk/pdf/eng-n...s-at-dalby.pdf and this made it sound even more tempting. Yorkshire Forward who are involved in the bid have promised to finance 6 new trail centres in the region. This definitely grabbed my attention!

Just thought I'd post this here as i'm sure most people would like another 6 trail centres in the yorkshire region. Think I'll be attending and showing my support for what would be a great improvement to the area and a good mountain biking event!

Im planning to do the XC race.
They have almost finished the new XC course which is 8 km long and the first ride of it will be on the saturday.
Another reason to go is there are some expos and a seperate north shore thing as well because its the world cup bid.
Should be a great weekend.
