2008 Rocky Mountain Cycling Omnium Race Information
For the first seven years, Adaptive Adventures developed and managed the nation’s largest integrated cycling event, the Rocky Mountain Omnium (RMO). In 2006, the event hosted over 675 riders of all ages and abilities. As the event and Adaptive Adventures have grown, it has become apparent that the resources of Adaptive Adventures are best utilized in the growth of integrated cycling on recreational and grassroots levels. At the same time, Adaptive Adventures has the desire to continue the development of the RMO and help US Handcycling further its mission and goals.

2008 marks the second year of a four -year partnership between Adaptive Adventures and US Handcycling. Under this collaboration, US Handcycling will take over the management and organization of all competitive aspects of the RMO, and will replace Adaptive Adventures as the lead promoter for the event. Adaptive Adventures will continue to support competitive efforts and all phases of the RMO, but will focus the majority of its resources on developing and managing the recreational and grassroots aspects of the event. |
The recreational side of the RMO will again include a comprehensive clinic. In addition, Adaptive Adventures will be looking to increase other riding opportunities and community outreach surrounding the event. “Our programs cater to athletes of all ages and abilities,” noted Adaptive’s Program Director, Matt Feeney. “Cycling, like all of our outdoor sports programs, is ideal for people with disabilities to keep up health, enhance fitness, and increase self-confidence. By devoting less resources to the RMO, we will be able to provide more grass roots opportunities through camps, clinics, rides, and tours throughout the year as well as to help to further the mission of US Handcycling.”
New to the RMO this year, U.S. Paralympics will manage the Beijing Paralympic Team selection trials [for all disability groups] in Denver this June. We are proud to have top Paralympic athletes recognize and support the RMO. It will be an awesome opportunity for local riders to meet and ride with some of the best cyclists in the world.
