Davis, West Virginia drops plans to host US Collegiate MTB Nationals

USA Cycling announced last week that it is seeking a new venue for its 2011 Collegiate Mountain Bike National Championships, scheduled for October 28-30.

The original host for the event, the Timberline Resort in Davis, West Virginia, was forced to step down due to some unanticipated, off-season changes to the would-be venue.

USA Cycling said it is confident that it will soon secure a new, top-notch venue capable of hosting cross country, short track, downhill, and either four cross or dual slalom events.
