The All9yards.com Racing Team would like to kick off May with a great announcement - we are introducing a new omnium race series to Des Moines starting Thursday, May 18 at Waterworks Park!
The Omnium format will consist of:
5k prologue time trial:
On the 'figure-8' loop of Waterworks Park.
Timed Circuit Race:
Thirty minutes after the last time trialist finishes, riders will be grouped into 'A' and 'B' class for a circuit race over the main loop of Waterworks Park (same course as the All9yards.com Waterworks Park Circuit Race.) After the event has concluded, results will be compiled to announce top finishers in the overall Omnium format. This will be a great event for new cyclists and experienced racers alike - the short and fast prologue time trial will test your speed and stamina. The circuit race will improve your bike handling skills and pack riding abilities. Ask anyone who trains or races at Waterworks Park, and they will tell you it is a great place to safely learn to improve your skills!
Mark these dates on your calendar - this will be a GREAT new opportunity for our community!
