A few updates here for the Portland Design Works Omnium this Sunday, August 2nd.

We've added a Junior category for both the men and women and will hope to see plenty of the kids out on the track. Registration for the Juniors will be $5.

The weather is looking fantastic for Sunday with a high in the seventies. There's a window of clear weather for a few days before and after so we're looking pretty good on that front!

Registration will open at 10am and racing will begin at 11am, preregistration will be open until midnight Saturday night. I'll have a Square card reader at registration so you'll be able to pay with a credit card.

Remember that Portland Design Works will be out with the barbecue making food for all of the spectators (and riders that may not be as concerned with adding additional race weight). We'll have beverages for everybody as well. We'd love to see more spectators at the event so drag your friends and family out to the track so that they can see what you spend all of your time and money on. Seriously though, we're trying to make this the most spectator friendly track event of the season.
