Highlighted by Rare Three-Day International Weekend and USGP
Press Contact Information: SpectaSport LLC
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
May 5, 2008; Conshohocken, PA, USA: Highlighting the Ohio River Valley's new-found reputation as one of America's best cycling destinations, the Zipp OVCX Cyclocross Tour has announced its most ambitious schedule ever, highlighted by a USGP weekend and the only three-day UCI sanctioned cyclocross festival in the world apart from Belgium's "Christmas Week". The 13-race Tour, sponsored by Zipp Speed Weaponry wheels and components, will also feature some of the finest domestic
races in America and no fewer than three open state championship events.
Four of this year's Zipp OVCX Tour events will take place in Louisville Kentucky, home of the famed Kentucky Derby thoroughbred horse race and recently honored by Bicycling magazine as one of America's Best New Cycling Cities. In the June 2008, which hit newsstands on May 1, the editors of Bicycling say that "The mayor embraced cycling" and the bike summit he called "created a visionary goal – the Louisville Loop – that has inspired the whole
city". The article concludes with a brief overview of last year's USGP races, part of the Zipp OVCX, "The reception was so enthusiastic that locals are now talking about building a cyclocross park." This year's USGP races in Louisville take place October 25 and 26.
The complete 2008 schedule is below. For more information, see OVCX.com or e-mail OVCX director Mitch Graham at mitch_biowheels@....
