1976 Olympic trials
The 1976 Trials attracted not only the best cyclists in the United States but elite riders from all over the world. Since access to training centers in and near Montreal was limited, Saranac Lake welcomed international teams. England's highly rated Viscount Conventry Olympic Bicycle Racing team toured the U.S. and participated in Olympic Developmental races held in conjunction with the U.S. trials races. The British team contained four individual champions including Mick Bennett, a previous winner of the silver and bronze medals and the captain of the team.
