The premier disabled cycling race in the continental U.S. - The Rocky Mountain Omnium - in and around Denver, CO is in it’s 8th year! The event is just around the corner, June 15-17, and features three days of racing for cyclists of all abilities. The ‘RMO’ doubles as the U.S. Paralympics Road Cycling Championships, and is also the U.S. Handcycling Time Trial and Road Race Championships.
In conjunction with the races, Adaptive Adventures will be hosting a clinic, and the citizen’s handcycle race categories have been brought back by popular demand for the time trial and Road Race.
Not only is the RMO on a new weekend this year, there is a terrific new time trial course designed by U.S. Handcycling and U.S. Paralympic Coaches from Carmichael Training Systems, and is the first step for Paralympic hopefuls on their road to Beijing in 2008. The TT course is *fast* and is located in Bear Creek Lake Park, right up against the foothills in Morrison. Saturday’s road [circuit] race is the traditional course in Golden at the State Patrol track, and Sunday will feature a new, urban criterium at Curtis Park in Downtown Denver.
The RMO includes races for all Paralympic categories as well as more than 10 able-bodied racing categories.
