Also riding will be Dave Smith, performance director of Trixter Developments Ltd, a former GB national and Olympic cycling coach; and former pro Gary Foord, a degree holder in Sports Science and National Mountain Bike coach from 1998-2002.

The X-Biking team will be leading demo rides on the hour at the Polaris-Fitness stand.
