Top riders from around the world are about to descend once again on Windham, N.Y. USA (August 6 – 9) for this coming weekend’s 2015 UCI Mountain Bike World Cup, presented by Shimano.
Windham will be the only United States World Cup race this year. Having hosted the event four of the past five years, the Windham World Cup has attracted tens of thousands of visitors (including nearly 5,000 professional and amateur athletes) from more than forty countries and six continents. A large part of the event’s popularity has been the successful mixture of mass participation in the amateur races and pro cycling competitions.
This year, Windham is one of only four sites to host both UCI MTB core disciplines on the race circuit meaning fans get best bang for thier buck. Both Olympic Cross-Country (XC) and Downhill (DH) are in the offering, with the Windham World Cup courses epitomizing the legendary aspects of “East Coast riding” in the U.S.
The latest addition to the many new amenities at Windham Mountain Resort is the Windham Mountain Bike Park, which features no less than six trails, including a pump track and skills park that will allow the casual cyclist to ride alongside the elite athletes during the World Cup festival.
In addition to the elite races, there is a full schedule of community events including an indoor/outdoor expo, a block party in downtown Windham, a concert, Race the World amateur cross-country and downhill races, a Kids’ Fun Race and more.
The main event site has everything for amateur racers and spectators alike.
