HI,

I went to watch the Olympic mountain biking last year and i quite fancy a go at riding it but i was just wondering if anyone has heard any news as to when it will be open if it isn't already?

I did hear months ago they were doing guided tours round the course for £50 but think i'd rather just do it on own and not be ripped off!

Cheers,

Ben :D

    I think like you say you have to pay around £50 at the moment, and you follow someone round the course.

    They will regrade the whole course to make it "rideable" for the general public, which is when I think it won't cost as much, or anything at all. This isn't happening for a while however

    There's a couple of races there too, an eastern series one IIRC (possibly MSG) and a British XC on August 18th.

    I did this in February and thought it was well worth the money to ride it as it was in the games, some coaching thrown in too. You can find out more here but I think it may be about to close for the work to begin:
