Achieve Your Optimum this Independence Day Weekend!

iDaph Events is pleased to announce the introduction of the Pisgah Omnium this Independence Day weekend. Alongside our Lung Buster Time Trial Series, this is an integral piece of the cyclist-focused facet of iDaph Events. With only one other Omnium in our neck of the woods this year, this is a prime opportunity to put your skills on display for all to see. With the treasure trove of bragging rights, prizes and awards we've put up for grabs, what better place to strut your stuff than the heart of Transylvania County, recently named "Ground Zero For Some Of The Best Riding In The Nation"! by BIKE Magazine.
As grills fire up, bottle rockets shoot off, and Old Glory waves, you'll be cruising down the WNC blacktop, powered by rippling quads and your lion heart. This USA Cycling-certified event will have something for every kind of rider, as well as their support team of family and friends. A 3-day, 3-location, 3-stage event, the Pisgah Omnium will be an ultimate test of rider ability and durability.

$15,000 in Cash Prizes + Awards... The Ultimate of Which is Beating Your Own Personal Best!
This is ultimately going to be a cycling destination weekend, and whether you come and stay for 3 days or for just parts of the Omnium, either way you'll be sure to have the time of your life. You, your posse, and the fiercest of your rivals will be challenged to spin your wheels on the roads of Etowah, Brevard, and Hendersonville, duking it out for your chance to claim braggart's privileges and hard-earned cut of $15,000 of cash, prizes, and awards!
To qualify for the Omnium, cyclists must complete all 3 stages of this event: a time trial, a criterium, and a road race. Those who do not, however, will still have the opportunity to cash in on prizes and awards for specific individual events. We have numerous divisions, and even have options for "Fat Tire" (Time Trial and Crit) and "Hand Cycle" riders in the Time Trial Event because we desire to offer something special for each and every rider.
The Stages
- Stage 1: Etowah Time Trial - July 5th, 2013. This stage will start at 4pm with riders setting off from the start in 30 second intervals.
- Stage 2: Brevard Criterium - Saturday, July 6th, 2013
- Stage 3: Hendersonville Road Race - Sunday, July 7th, 2013
- Registration closes at midnight EST on July 3rd, 2013. You must pre-register for the omnium in order to qualify for cash prizes and awards. Register Now.
The Pisgah Bike Omnium is a USA Cycling sanctioned event whereby all cyclists must hold or purchase a USA Cycling license to race, and entry fees include USAC insurance surcharges. No license, no race, no exceptions. There will be a $10 late fee for all on-site, day of registration. USAC rules also require each and every cyclist to wear a proper helmet at all times, and iPods and similar electronic devices are strictly prohibited. For more info about participating in the race or in helping to sponsor it, please contact: eve...@idaph.net.
