What a beautiful weekend for racing!! Here we are in our own back yard. This weekends race is at beautiful Pace Bend Park on Lake Travis.  Sponsored by Bicycle Sport Shop and presented by the Austin Ridge Riders. You literally park right on the shores of the lake.  Since we are only a 30 minute drive from  the venue we decide to get an early start on Saturday and go get a preride in to test the mettle of the trail. And a nice one it is. Plenty of  fast sections with a slew of technical, rocky sections to keep you honest.  Theres already quite a few people out to preride so we roll in and don our OMW kits and the word is now out.  We’re gonna have some fun tomorrow!!

Since this is as close to home as we get this spring season, we decide this will be our OMW family weekend. Jason arrived with his daughter Alexis on Saturday and they camped out on the flats right by the water for the weekend.  The rest of us showed up early sunday morning. Toms wife Leslie and their daughter Reese are here, Lances wife Sonny and their son Dean are here, and my wife Mindy and sister in law Janis have all come out to cheer us on. Sonny has made up some shirts and now her, Dean, Leslie, and Reese are all sporting OMW-RACING t-shirts. They all look great. Hey, mountain biking is part style you know, and we look good!!

OMW loves the Omnium and the Omnium loves OMW !!

Ahh, who doesnt like the awesome lung burning and thigh crushing trails of  Flat Rock Ranch in Comfort, Texas? They call this weekend of racing the “Omnium”. The overall prizes go to the racers with the most points after all the stages. Pro/cat 1 do a short time trial and a dirt crit on Saturday and finish it up with the XC on Sunday. The cat2/cat 3 racers just get the time trial and the XC to gather points. (Only the XC counts in the TMBRA series standings).
