On the dirt, London Olympic 2012 organizers have decided to make the cross country mountain bike course a little tougher following feedback from athletes racing last year’s test event. A few parts will be widened to allow more passing opportunities, the main switchback climb has been lengthened and a new small climb has been built for the start. The latter will only be used on the first lap. Total climbing per 4.7km (2.92 mile) lap is now 172 meters, and some of the course has been made more technically challenging.
