CYCLING – MOUNTAIN BIKE

The name Napa Valley evokes images of one of the great wine-growing regions in the world, of rolling hills and lush vineyards.But one of these vineyards evokes a different image for MountainBike enthusiasts because of the outstanding World Cup eventstaged there every year. For this reason BASOC has designatedDomaine Chandon as its venue for this discipline. It is a well-proven course that meets the highest standards, and what a venue it is!

The course snakes through oak-studded Napa mountainsides, upand down its canyons and along tracks that border the vines of this

world-renowned winery. The start/finish area is set at the Welcome Center of the winery,so that the media, officials and spectators will enjoy excellent infrastructure. In fact, theaward-winning Domaine Chandon restaurant will serve as the Olympic Family Lounge,where phenomenal culinary creations are served every day.

With its fantastic summer weather, Napa Valley offers optimum conditions for thecompetitors and all those who will attend the races. Before and after the races, fans andofficials alike may enjoy a visit to other famous wineries and cultural attractions in the area, completing a perfect visit to one of the world’s most notable regions.
