Is there day-of registration?
Yes, but we really reeally want you to pre-register as it makes it much easier to check you in and make sure that you are included in the start lists for the races. Adding a 2nd race is only $20, and the fee adjustment should be applied at checkout on BikeReg. If you haven’t pre-reg’d at all, you will still be able to register on-site at the full rate - but you won’t be eligible for the Omnium. Any and all BikeReg codes, super secret or otherwise, turn into pumpkins at the close of registration on Friday morning - so do it now. Seriously, stop reading, go do it. Here’s the link. Then come back and finish reading this.
Which side do I pin my numbers on?
SATURDAY - Numbers go on the left side
SUNDAY - Numbers go on the right side
Wait, wut?
You guys have numbers?
We’re using WSBA numbers because most racers already own them and they are rad (stretchy).
If you do not have numbers we will have rental numbers on-site at the reg tent (Not stretchy. The numbers, or the tent).
If you’re not already a WSBA member, you should definitely consider signing up. This race would not be happening without them. While you’re at it, thank a volunteer because this race definitely wouldn’t happen without them either. When you’re done, ask if volunteer help is still needed - because it is.
So, it’s an Omnium. How’s that work?
Each race can be done individually. Do one. Do two. Do both stages twice by entering two Omniums. It’s been done, but nobody has done three Omniums (yet). The better you place, the more points you get, with additional points available via mid-race primes. The Omnium entrant in each category with the most points at the end wins.
Here’s the weighted points system

Parking
For day-of parking, please check out the course maps and parking suggestions for each course. (Grand Ave & Riverside) The TLDR version is an ask to leave the area immediately around the course for the residents and businesses who cannot park on the course itself. Again, this race weekend doesn’t happen without a lot of community buy-in and support, so please help us to carry that into 2025 and beyond.
