In 1996 Atlanta held the Olympics and the first MB racing took place just east of town and east of Conyers, GA at the Equestrian Complex now called Georgia International Horse Park. www.georgiahorsepark.com Georgia International Horse Park has the first-ever Olympic mountain biking course in the world. With 1,032 feet of elevation change, this unique course will give Park visitors over 8 miles of a truly exhilarating ride. The widely varied terrain also offers paralleling smooth surfaces for television equipment. The trails are open for public riding daily.Trails are open from daylight to dusk. On occasion, trails may be closed due to other events occurring at the Park. Please make sure you check the calendar of events on this website for dates the trails are closed. The daily trail fee is $5. Annual passes are available for $35. ... If you live farther than you can travel to here in one day you are welcome to stay at my place which is three miles from the trail. You can camp for free, there are several spots for tents, just let us know a couple of weeks in advance. Rapido
