News Posted: 20 Aug 2008
CTC (Cyclists Touring Club) and IMBA-UK (International Mountain Bike Association) are bringing together key speakers from across the world for a major mountain bike conference at Cycle 2008. The programme has been specifically designed for those who are passionate about off-road cycling including: trail builders, project managers, sports development officers, funders, landowners, AONB and National Park staff, and all those involved in managing or developing off-road cycling in the UK.
The demand for off-road cycling has grown dramatically in recent years and this conference will provide a great opportunity to hear about the lessons learnt from those running successful facilities across the globe. There will also be a focus on training, education, facility development and funding.
Ian Warby CTC's Senior Off-road development officer said "It's an exciting time and this is a fantastic opportunity for everyone who's interested in mountain biking to look to the future, build on recent success and maximise the opportunity to get more people out on their local trails".
Karl Bartlett, Chairman IMBA-UK, said: "IMBA UK is pleased to be sharing this joint conference with CTC. Taking place at Cycle 2008, IMBA's message of advocacy for mountain bikers will reach more riders in the UK than ever before. This is a great opportunity for mountain bikers to come together, share their enthusiasm and experience, and continue improving mountain biking opportunities and participation for the future."
The conference will be part of Cycle 2008 at Earls Court, the UK's largest trade and consumer bike show. For more info and a booking form, go here
