  • Uci Mountain Bike World Cup Information for Organisers 1
    MOUNTAIN BIKE WORLD CUP UCI MOUNTAIN BIKE WORLD CUP INFORMATION FOR ORGANISERS 1. FOREWORD The UCI Mountain Bike World Cup is a season-long series of races that tests the skill, stamina and consistency of the world’s best specialists in mountain biking. Over a period of six months, the athletes confront each other time and time again in a bid to claim the leader’s jersey and, ultimately, the overall UCI World Cup title. Hosting a round of this extremely hard-fought competition leads to positive spin-offs both for the sport and the region. The local population has a chance to see mountain bike racing at the highest level, and the venue is showcased as a top mountain bike destination. Be it for Cross-country Olympic (XCO) Cross-country short track (XCC), and/or Downhill (DHI), the World Cup venue must live up to expectations of athletes, fans and sponsors alike. For the organisers, it is a major undertaking and a rewarding and satisfying experience. In order to encourage potential hosts and to simplify their candidature procedure, the UCI has published this Bidding Guide. The aim of this document is to provide National Federations and candidature committees of potential host cities with practical information for preparing their candidature. Questions that regularly crop up from potential hosts are answered in our concise guide, which provides advice for the different stages of the bid procedure. Issues covered include marketing rights, sponsors, budget, course requirements, team areas, and transport and accommodation requirements. I hope that this bidding procedure will be the beginning of a long and successful collaboration between the UCI and the future organisers of a round of the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup.

  • Freeride Guide 04
    sponsored by THE FOURTH ANNUAL FREERIDE GUIDE The emergence of bike parks, overcoming objections to freeriding and more. Plus, three new IMBA Epic Rides! Fall 2006 Out of the Shadows Richard Cunningham Editor-at-Large, Mountain Bike Action magazine Years ago, hardcore mountain bikers disappeared into the rainforests of the Pacific Northwest to build log rides and ladder bridges over the tangled forest floor. The sport of freeriding has since emerged from the shadows, and mountain biking is much richer for it. All of us, at least once, have been swept by the burst of exhilaration that follows the first successful passage of a once-impossible section of trail. Freeriding provides unprecedented opportunities for that experience. Mountain bikers have always pushed the boundaries of what can be ridden on two wheels. Who hasn’t paused at the edge of a precipice, however small, to watch a better bike handler give it a go, or mustered the courage to ride a section that we once walked. Freeriders have honed the sport’s challenging aspects into a lifestyle. The risk and intensity may exceed anything that the average rider would choose to face, but the core experience is the same. Well, almost. “Freerider” also describes a professional cyclist in jeans and a T-shirt, upside down, 30 feet above a televised crowd, gapping the space between wooden towers plastered with advertisements. It can be argued that daredevils jumping highways, or launching from obscenely huge stunts aboard 10-inch-travel monster bikes have as much in common with exploring the woods on a hardtail as the Stealth Bomber relates to a crow.

From 29th June until 21st July, France once again lived in a bubble. And the whole world watched as Chris Froome won the stages to Ax 3 Domaines, Mont Ventoux and the individual time trial in Chorges, then defended his yellow jersey all the way to the finish in Paris. This year has already seen the British rider win two big stage races, the Tour de Romandie in Switzerland and the Critérium du Dau- phiné in France. His impressive athletic performance over the Tour’s 3,400 kilometre (2,110 mile) route in July saw him win his first Tour de France ahead of Colombia’s Nairo Alexander Quintana Rojas and Joaquin Rodriguez Oliver of Spain. To celebrate the 100th edition of the Tour de France, this year’s Grande Boucle started with three stages in Corsica – the first time the Tour has ever visited the Mediterranean island. In another bold step, the race didn’t start with its normal prologue this year.

    UCI CYCLING WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS 2. FOREWORD The first Cycling World Championships were held 125 years ago in Chicago, USA: for track cycling in 1893. Today the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) organises annual World Championships for each of the nine cycling disciplines under its governance. For while the UCI is very proud of the rich history and solid traditions that form the foundations of our sport, we are also constantly innovating to ensure that our events remain dominant in the sports market. For this reason, we have decided to create the UCI Cycling World Championships. This exciting multi-discipline concept will see a total of 15 UCI World Championships held in the same city on three consecutive weekends. To be held every four years starting from 2023, this event will include road, track, mountain bike (cross-country Olympic, downhill, short track and marathon), BMX Racing, BMX Freestyle (Park and Flatland), trials, indoor cycling (artistic cycling and cycle-ball), para-cycling track, para-cycling road and Grand Fondo. Each year, the UCI World Championships for these disciplines incite an enormous amount of enthusiasm: the different events are watched by many millions of fans all over the world. The UCI Cycling World Championships will create a huge buzz and most certainly have an even greater impact. Hosting such a multi-discipline event of this magnitude is a major undertaking and a truly exciting experience! The UCI greatly appreciates the interest and commitment shown by potential organisers. In bidding to host the UCI Cycling World Championships, you have already demonstrated your wish to invest in the future of cycling and I thank you sincerely for that.

  • Estimating the Benefits and Costs to Mountain Bikers of Changes in Trail Characteristics, Access Fees, and Site Closures
    Journal of Environmental Management (2002) 64, 411–422 doi:10.1006/jema.2001.0513, available online at http://www.idealibrary.com on Estimating the benefits and costs to mountain bikers of changes in trail characteristics, access fees, and site closures: choice experiments and benefits transfer Edward R. Morey*, Terry Buchanan and Donald M. Waldman Department of Economics, Campus Box 256, University of Colorado, Boulder CO 80309-0256, USA Received 25 April 2000; accepted 10 September 2001 Mountain biking is an increasingly popular leisure pursuit. Consequences are trail degradation and conflicts with hikers and other users. Resource managers often attempt to resolve these problems by closing trails to mountain biking. In order to estimate the impact of these developments, a model has been devised that predicts the effects of changes in trail characteristics and introduction of access fees, and correlates these with biker preference on trail selection. It estimates each individual’s per-ride consumer’s surplus associated with implementing different policies. The surplus varies significantly as a function of each individual’s gender, budget, and interest in mountain biking. Estimation uses stated preference data, specifically choice experiments. Hypothetical mountain bike trails were created and each surveyed biker was asked to make five pair-wise choices. A benefit-transfer simulation is used to show how the model and parameter estimates can be transferred to estimate the benefits and costs to mountain bikers in a specific area. 2002 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd Keywords: choice experiments, mountain biking, benefits transfer, valuing trails, income effects. Introduction 1000 mountain bikers in 1983; 10 years later it was ridden by over 90 000 (IMBA, 1994).
