Laoshan Mountain Bike Course
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Laoshan Mountain Bike Course is a mountain bike cycling venue located in western Beijing, China adjacent to the Laoshan Velodrome. It began its renovation and expansion program in May 2006.
The course will host the Mountain Bike competitions of the 2008 Summer Olympics.
The project involves a competition course of 6.2 kilometres in circumference, a fixed building with a floor space of 8,275 square metres, a temporary spectator stand that will seat 2,000 and other temporary facilities for competitions.
The project is to be completed in the second half of 2007 and will become a training base for the Chinese cycling team and will also be open to the public once the Games are over.
