Granny Gear brings 24 Hours to Atlanta Olympic CX course

Granny Gear Productions, the race promoter that brings us the 24 Hours of Moab, is bringing it's festival-style 24-hour mountain bike format racing to the site of the inaugural Olympic cross-country course in 2006. The 24 Hours of Conyers will take place May 20-21 at the Georgia International Horse Park in Conyers, Ga., the site of mountain biking's debut as an Olympic sport.

"We started looking at Conyers because we were getting tons of e-mails and phone calls from folks asking us to bring a Granny Gear event to the Southeast," said Laird Knight, president of Granny Gear Productions. "We looked at several venues but time after time we kept coming back to Conyers. The venue is ideal and the course is great, plus I can't get over the historic significance of this course."
