Chair of the London 2012 organising committee Sebastian Coe and Chief Executive of the Olympic Delivery Authority David Higgins today visited two host venues for the 2012 Games.
First stop on the latest leg of the 2012 Roadshow was Weald Country Park in Essex, which will be the 2012 venue for Mountain Biking.
The Roadshow group was taken on a tour of the planned course and then watched local youngsters learning valuable skills in a cycling safety session.
Later in the day the Roadshow bus stopped off at Herts Young Mariners in Broxbourne, close to where the Slalom Canoeing course will be constructed.
Olympic medallist Helen Reeves led a coaching class at the popular youth Canoeing facility.
Seb Coe said: "By locating Mountain Biking and Slalom Canoeing in the East of England we are spreading the benefits of the 2012 Ganes outside London.
"These facilities will create a valuable legacy for elite competition and community use."
The final stop of the day will be the magnificent gardens of Ely Cathedral for a reception for businesses in the region.
