Essex MTB course too flat(!)
The mountain (or gentle incline) bike course for the London Olympics is "too flat to challenge the riders." Acording to the BBC cycling website, the International Cycling Union has asked for the the course, at Weald Country Park in the craggy heartland of Essex, to be moved.
Who knows who far they'll have to travel out of London, maybe it's time for an "Englishman who went up a hill and came down a mountain" type of scenario. Or they could always just pop up the M4 corridor to South Wales.
