Over 2,000 tonnes of locally sourced stone has been used to surface the all-weather trail. Sustainable building techniques have also been used to make it more durable.
The trail will be incorporated into Dalby’s 55 kilometre mountain bike network, opened in 2007 and touted as one of the best in England. Parts of the World Cup course will be open for public use, but other sections will be off limits and reserved for top flight competitions.
Bid partners say that staging the World Cup would bring major economic and tourism opportunities for the area. Up to 500 of the world’s top off-road bikers would take part, representing 25 nations. The event could draw up to 10,000 spectators.
