THE OMNIUM INFORMATION:

Stages of the 2009 Devil's Kick Omnium:

Saturday, May 9th - 7-Mile Lane 25-Mile Time Trial - 1st Stage of the Devil's Kick Omnium
Sunday, May 10th - Honey Run Road Uphill Time Trial - 2nd Stage of the Devil's Kick Omnium
Sunday, May 10th - Chico Airport LONG-course Criterium - Final Stage of the Devil's Kick Omnium

How does it work??? Okay, in this scenario, an Omnium is just a stage race using points rather than time - and you do not have to complete one stage in order to do the next stage. You garner points for each stage depending upon how you did in the stage.......and, again, in this particular case.........the MOST points wins(many Omniums reverse this and have the least amount of points winning). There WILL be a Category "A" and Category "B" - you must tell me at the start of your first stage which Category you are entering.......and no downgrades during the Omnium once you're in. Categories may be combined, changed or eliminated if not enough folks come out. Most USCF rules will apply to ALL stages - including WEAR YOUR HELMET, don't ride too much like a lunatic, and so on and so forth. Please read the section carefully at the bottom of this e-mail for all the rules pertaining to the Omnium. The 7-Mile Lane 25-Mile Time Trial - aero equipment WILL be allowed! And remember - the only reasons we're doing this Omnium is for fun and fitness......and maybe a little competitiveness too, but nothing over-the-top please! Ride safe, have fun, try something new and challenge yourself. Anyone doing any of the stages is automatically entered in the Omnium..........but consistency in the events will be key to winning the Overall. You can do 1, 2 or 3 stages - just whatever you feel up to doing!! So, come on out and give it a shot!!

The Point Breakdown for EACH stage:

Saturday, May 9th - 7-Mile Lane 25-Mile Time Trial:

6th = 12 points
7th = 10 points

Do you have to do all the stages in order to compete in the Omnium?? No - you can even do just one event and your points will still be calculated and counted in the overall. And REMEMBER - Safety come before bragging rights, so be careful!!!
As always, the Director reserves the right to DQ anyone deemed cheating, unsafe or unsportsmanlike(no worries - just be cool like always and all will be good!!).
Tie-Breaker - If, by chance, it comes down to a TIE after the last stage of the Omnium, the highest placed finisher(of the tied competitors) in the 7-Mile Lane 25-Mile Time Trial will be declared the Overall Winner of the Devil's Kick Omnium. After that, it will be the highest placed finisher in the Honey Run Road Time Trial.
