Dog Days Omnium Results.........

First off, I want to congratulate all of you for taking part in this year's Dog Days Omnium here in Chico!! You all did a tremendous job out there, and the attendance at the events was outstanding - have not seen that kind of turn-out at these events in quite some time. It was GREAT to see, and shows that Chico cycling is obviously alive and well! Thank you all!! Hope to see you at the Nutcracker Omnium in 9 days - for all of it, or maybe just a stage or two!

Okay, below are the Omnium results from the Road Race this morning - and below that are the Final Standings in the Dog Days Omnium in each category.
