Well, another great Pisgah Stage Race is on the books. 5 days, 28,000 feet of climbing, and over 195 miles on some of the most technical single track in the country is no small feat! Local favorite Sam Koerber, and Rabobank-Giant Off-Road Team's Adam Craig gave it all they had, but couldn't quite unseat The Lion King, Jeremiah Bishop, from a three-peat victory. Hats off to everyone who participated, awesome job!
