DOG DAYS OMNIUM INFORMATION:

Hi Everyone! The 2nd Annual "Dog Days" Omnium bicycling event is this week, in honor of the Dog Days of Summer:

Tues., Aug. 18th - Chico Airport Criterium - 1st Race "Dog Days" Omnium (Part of the 2009 Chico Airport Criterium Series - this is also a DOUBLE POINT EVENT!)

Thurs., Aug. 20th - River Road 10-Mile TT - 2nd Race Dog Days Omnium (Part of the 2009 Chico 10-Mile Time Trial Series)

Sat., Aug. 22nd - Cohasset DOWNHILL TT - 3rd Race Dog Days Omnium (Part of the 2009 Chico Downhill Time Trial Series)

Sun., Aug. 23rd - Table Mountain Road Race(1 lap) - Final Race Dog Days Omnium (Part of the 2009 Chico Road R.A.C.E. Series)

Essentially, this will be run similar to the Nutcracker Omnium taking place in September, but with a couple of different stages. Again, in this scenario, an Omnium is just a stage race using points rather than time. You garner points for each stage depending upon how you did in the stage.......and, again, in this 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", and a Women's Category which is scored separately - you must tell me at the start which Category you are entering.......and no downgrades during the Omnium once you're in. Most USCF rules will apply to ALL stages - including WEAR YOUR HELMET, don't ride like a silly person, and so on and so forth. The Time Trials - In the Dog Days Omnium, aero equipment WILL be allowed(it is NOT allowed in the Nutcracker Omnium River Road Time Trial). 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. Dog Days Omnium Champion Trophies will be awarded to the Winners of each Category - we may also have a Masters Category for Men & Women if the budget allows for it.

So.....with that said, here are the Point Breakdowns for each of the Stages of the upcoming Dog Days Omnium - and details/descriptions of each stage will be announced shortly:

Tuesday, August 18th - Chico Airport Criterium:
1st = 25 points (NOT to be added to the season-long point standings in the Criterium Series....those points are separate from the Omnium. Prime Points NOT counted in the Overall Omnium Results.)
2nd = 20 points
3rd = 18 points
4th = 16 points
5th = 14 points
6th = 12 points
7th = 10 points
8th = 8 points
9th = 6 points
10th = 4 points
11th = 2 points
Everyone else = 1 point

Thursday, August 20th - River Road 10-Mile Time Trial:
1st = 25 points
2nd = 20 points
3rd = 18 points
4th = 16 points
5th = 14 points
6th = 12 points
7th = 10 points
8th = 8 points
9th = 6 points
10th = 4 points
11th = 2 points
Everyone else = 1 point

Saturday, August 22nd - Cohasset DOWNHILL Time Trial:

2nd = 20 points
3rd = 18 points
4th = 16 points

Sunday, August 23rd - Table Mountain Road Race(1 Lap):
1st = 25 points
2nd = 20 points
3rd = 18 points
4th = 16 points
5th = 14 points
6th = 12 points
7th = 10 points
8th = 8 points
9th = 6 points
10th = 4 points
11th = 2 points
Everyone else = 1 point

And Finally - ANY rider participating in ALL 4 Stages receives an additional 25 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.
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 Cohasset DOWNHILL Time Trial will be declared the Overall Winner.
