Colorado Springs, Colo. (derailedonline.com) - Windham has seen many ups and downs over the past year in relation to mountain biking. Just when we thought that the WC was done-for, courses were plowed, and people were not answering their phone calls; the management rallied and kept the World Cup event alive. Now further work is in place to make sure it is a success.
