Thanks to all who attended the TriFecta Omnium in Las Cruces/Hillsboro this weekend, and especially to Zia Velo/David Rutledge/NMSU for promoting and volunteering!
At least this year it was sunny and warm (I could have done without the wind on Saturday though!). It was great seeing the NMSU racers for the first time this season also!
Updated points are posted, and results are posted (but not the omnium results - haven't seen those yet).
A few housekeeping matters that I have noticed since the beginning of the season:
1. Your racing license is REQUIRED to match the category you are racing! This is STILL a problem after 6 races - c'mon people, it's not that hard to request a change in your category. You will not be allowed to start another SWCCC race unless your license matches the category you are racing.
2. Riders can't "bounce" around between categories. You can't decide on your own that you are a C, then start with the A's the following race, then maybe race in the Bs later on. If you need to upgrade (or downgrade) please work with me to get it accomplished (thanks to all who have done it correctly!). This saves time and confusion for promoters, officials, me, and your fellow racers who don't know which category you are racing in this week. If you are not sure or have questions, please let me know.
3. The promoters so far have made an effort to provide prizes for the collegiate riders in most races - whether it is for primes, or overall prizes. They do not have to do this at all. I understand that everyone wants to get on the road after the races, but letting the promoter know that you are not sticking around to pick up prizes is a nice courtesy. Yesterday, we waited for many of the collegiate riders to pick up their merchandise prizes ... and waited... and many did not show up (thanks to those who did!)

And as we move into this weekend at Las Cruces/Hillsboro and the SW Championship RR, special thanksto Zia Velo and NMSU for hosting the races!
Just a quick note... the Tierra del Sol RR is up in the air as to whether it will happen or not. Please stay tuned.
After much going back and forth and rider comments, the revised UA crit results are posted. Mainly this has affected the Men C field. We have spent a lot of time going over the officials' notes and reading the film for the primes...thank you all for your patience.
The updated individual points are also up.
Just one more item...apparently my cell phone has been cutting in and out, and I have a delay of 1-2 days on my phone messages (if I can hear them at all). So please try to use my email for "regular" messages. I can take a text msg if it is urgent (during non-work hours) but I do not have a texting plan, so it costs me per message. Thanks. I am trying to get this fixed!
Here is how it stands for both team Nationals Qualification, as well as for overall Team Omnium. Hopefully we will be seeing some of the D2 schools riders in the coming weeks!

Another awesome turnout at UA this weekend...
51 total riders! Results posted on the Results page. Please please let me know about any corrections/issues ASAP. It's getting to the point where (probably next season) we will need separate race times for at least the Men Cs, which means our conference is growing, which is great! Points will be up as soon as I receive the video files from the camera official for the prime points - I'll probably get them tomorrow (Wednesday) and points will be up shortly after that. Photos will be up as soon as I receive them from the photographer also.
Just received ASU results - on Results page.
Also received the flyer and information link for the SW Criterium Championships in NM on March 27th. Link to registration: http://www.
Please also remember that there is no race day registration for the NMSU omnium (which includes a TT, Crit & the SW Championship RR) - this is the next SW race. Please check registration deadlines on the Race Schedule page.
