Commonwealth Games Cycling – Mountain Bike

Whilst cycling is a stalwart of the Commonwealth Games, mountain biking specifically is a relatively recent addition, having debuted in 2002. Balance, control, strength, and skill are all required to master this tricky discipline, which sees riders bolt along uneven ground and up and down troughs and hills, all at breakneck pace.

The venue for the mountain biking at Birmingham 2022 is another reason why this sport will be so worth a watch: as a designated area of outstanding natural beauty, Cannock Chase Forest is sure to provide a unique combination of bucolic serenity and adrenaline-fuelled action!
