Greenbrier State Park to Host Mountain Bike Race
On April 29, 2007, Greenbrier State Park in Washington County will host the Greenbrier Challenge, a mountain bike race that is one of a few races by which U.S. racers may obtain invitations to the U.S. National Championships to be held in Vermont in July, 2007. For the first time, the race will be sanctioned by the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI), the international sanctioning body of bicycle racing that is also recognized by the International Olympic Committee as the source for determining the cycling role of each nation in the Olympics. Over the past three years, riders from around the world have participated in the Greenbrier Challenge.
