Welcome!
The UA Cycling Team and Sabino Cycles Team are excited to continue the Santa Catalina Omnium in
2016! The courses are the same from previous years: the BioPark Blast and the Oracle Road Race.
Etiquette:
These races are held in very public areas and there will be spectators present. Please be polite and
respectful. You are representing our event, your team, and cycling in general. We want to leave a
LASTING POSITIVE impression on our very gracious host communities and be welcomed back.
No littering, no cursing, and ABSOLUTELY NO PUBLIC URINATION!
We nearly lost our event for 2014 because someone used a resident’s semi-truck as a pee spot- in view
of their dining room windows. There is no excuse for public urination.
Riders caught doing so will be fined or disqualified. Or both.
Centerline:
The centerline rule will be strictly enforced in the road race. If no painted centerline exists, riders
must keep to the right side of the road. If there is a double lane, riders must stay in the right lane.
During the road race all roads will be open to traffic. The road race uses a state highway, Arizona 77,
and it is on a high speed descent. Expect traffic on the state highway, ADOT is requiring us to ride
as far right as possible. If you are dropped from the main group, ride to the far right and no more than
two abreast. This the centerline warning:
CROSS THE CENTER LINE AND YOU WILL BE DISQUALIFIED
Don’t be the rider that makes our race go way because you rode over the center.
Helmets:
Helmets must be worn and
secured at all times while riding
a bicycle.
Race Numbers:
Numbers will be pinned on the
right side for both days. Pin it
lower and on the side. Can you
guess who isn’t getting placed in
this picture?
Combined Categories:
During both events there will be multiple fields racing at the same time. It should be timed were fields
will not over take each other. However, if this occurs, please move over and allow the passing field to
move through. Do not mingle with the passing field or you will be disqualified.
Wheel Support:
There will be follow vehicles for each race in the road race- wheels in, wheels out. There will be a
wheel pit in the criterium by the finish line.
Omnium Registration
As a points based omnium, riders do not have to compete in both races and can select one or the other.
However, to be eligible for the omnium scoring, awards, and upgrade points, riders must register using
the omnium option. There is no day of registration for the omnium. Day of registration will be

Winning and Tie Breaking:
Winner will be the rider with the highest number of points after the road race. If there is a tie, the rider
with the highest placing in the road race will be the winner.
Race Proceeds:
All proceeds from the race go directly to the UA Cycling Team endowment which enables the team to
compete across the southwest, attend nationals, promote races, and get more college kids riding bikes.
Over time, we hope to provide scholarships from the fund as it grows. In short, the event serves as a
fundraiser for the team and your participation directly impacts and improves cycling in the southwest.

The course is bound by the Catalina Mountains to the north, the Black Mountains to the south, and the Galiuro
