Windhm NY to Host a UCI World Cup Race in 2010

Wow, I practically grew up in Windham before moving to the West Coast in 2007. Great little town and even greater place to ride!

Windham, New York to host World Cup
After a several-year absence, the UCI's mountain bike World Cup will return to the US in 2010. A ski resort in Windham, New York, which last year and this year has hosted a round of the US national series, will host a triple event, featuring cross country, downhill and four cross. The event will take place a few days before the World Championships in Mont-Sainte-Anne, Quebec, Canada.
The UCI Management Committee met in Lausanne, Switzerland, and approved the 2010 World Cup calendar on Friday. It will include six rounds for each of the three disciplines and will take place at nine venues in eight countries.
Another new venue will be Dalby Forest, in North Yorkshire, Great Britain. This region, in the north of England, is hosting a World Cup for the first time. It will open the cross country competition for the season.
Other stops will include Houffalize, Belgium; Maribor, Slovenia; Offenburg, Germany; Fort William, Germany; Schladming, Austria; Champéry, Swizerland; and Val di Sole, Italy. The latter is new to the World Cup calendar, but hosted the World Championships in 2008.
The US lasted hosted a mountain bike World Cup at Angel Fire resort in New Mexico in the summer of 2005.
The popular Mont-Sainte-Anne venue is not a World Cup stop since it will be hosting the World Championships.
