USA CYCLING MOUNTAIN BIKE EVENTS

About Mountain Bike Cyclists compete on a course comprised of narrow stone and grass trails with steep uphill and downhill sections that often include natural obstacles, such as rocks and logs. The multiple lap cross-country format is used at the Olympics, and the men’s race requires more laps on the 5km circuit than the women’s race. The first cyclist to complete all the laps and cross the finish line wins the race.
