The first band starts at 5:30 p.m. All pre-registered riders will receive two complimentary beer tickets to the hospitality tent Friday night. The BBBQ Festival is thrilled to be adding an omnium format to the BBBQ race weekend. The goal of the omnium is to determine and reward the best all around racers in each of their respective categories. Omnium results are based on points, not time. All race entries earn omnium points. Only standard road bikes will be allowed for those competing in the omnium. Nearly 100% of the racers travel over 90 miles to compete. We wanted to minimize the amount of extra equipment needed to race during this weekend and to maximize the number of teammates who could travel together. In the event of inclement weather, race will be held. If dangerous conditions or hazardous weather arises the Chief Referee may neutralize, shorten, suspend, or cancel any race. No refunds will be given. Number Pick: Friday, July 11, from 6:00 9:00 p.m. in City Park Saturday, July 12, 10:00 a.m. in Lions Field and closing 30 minutes prior to individual events.

All race places will be determined and ruled final by the licensed USA CYCLING officials presiding over the race. Omnium tie breaker: In case of a tie on total points, the tie will be broken in favor of the rider who has: (a) the most first place finishes or, if still tied, the most second place finishes, etc., or if still tied; (b) the highest placing in the road race, followed by the highest placing in the criterium. Equipment: No aero equipment will be allowed in the time trial if you are competing in the omnium. Aero equipment is defined as aero helmets (OEM or modified), aero bars, or disc wheels.
