race/cycle track I will concede this one to Laura. It always pays to read beyond the first 3 lines! I would opt for "cycle track" for bicycle track racing. "Bike" is more usual for "mountain bike".
Laura Bennett Apr 4, 2011:
cycle track? I think race track would work as a generic term (it doesn't necessarily imply horses to me) but cycle/bike track might be other options if you would prefer to be specific.
Coisa Gostos (X) (asker) Apr 4, 2011:
the text is about cyclists so, no running/no horses

It could be race/racing or running track. On baance I would opt for racing for horses, running for people. Take your pick
