Tickets for the 2011 UCI Mountain Bike World Cup at Fort William are now on sale – and if you buy yours before December 31, you will only pay 2010 prices.

What’s more, if you order before December 16, you’ll be sent a card that you can hand over on Christmas day as the ideal non-sock/aftershave/handcream present from Santa.

The 2011 event will take place on June 5-6, with hundreds of riders set to return to the scenic slopes of Aonach Mor and the Nevis Range for downhill and 4x action.

Organisers have also produced a World Cup calendar from the huge selection of superb photographer taken over the nine years the event has taken place in Fort William.

World Cup tickets can be purchased from www.fwwctickets.co.uk, while the calendar, priced at £9.50, is available to buy here.
