The Mountain Bike & Trials World Championships are coming to the UK for the first time, from 3-9 September, and will be held in Fort William, Scotland.

More than 700 of the world’s top riders from more than 50 nations – riding for country, rather than trade teams – will battle it out across the four mountain bike disciplines of cross-country, trials, 4-cross and downhill.

It is the high point of the 2007 season, with over 40,000 mountain bike fans and outdoor fans expected to trek to the idyllic Highlands for six days of spectacular action.

Team GB are strong medal contenders, with Oli Beckingsale and Simon Richardson in cross-country and Steve Peat, Tracy Moseley, Rachel Atherton and Gee Atherton in the downhill all tipped for success.

The BBC’s online coverage will feature race reports focussing on the British riders, audio content (where available) from 5Live and BBC Radio Scotland, streamed BBC2 coverage on the final day and audience photos and video on the BBC’s cycling community on isporty.com.

We’re also hoping to secure a diary, here on 606, from one of the British riders – watch out for further details.

And if you’re going to be at Fort William, we’d love to hear from you to get your take on the action – the competition, the weather, the scenery, the black flies...

So, if you'd like to write your experience of any of the action and have it promoted on the BBC Cycling page, let us know by adding a comment below.

Hope to hear from you!
