The Elite Omnium National Championships and Workshop will run from Wednesday 24th to Friday 25th September 2015. The aim of the pilot programme is to revamp the Elite Omnium event and provide some more resource into developing the specific skill-set required for the six-discipline Omnium, looking ahead to Olympic Competition.
The three days will include a full day (24th) workshop which is open to athletes and coaches, providing education on the event which will include both theory and practical sessions delivered by our High Performance experts. The workshop will be followed by the two day National Championship competition (24th & 25th – two sessions each day).
Attached is a copy of the provisional programme, entry criteria and entry forms.
If you could please circulate information to your clubs, elite riders and coaches to generate interest in the event.

This week has been very sad for all of our cycling community, we have lost our friend and companion, Averil Sheehan. She has amazed us with her endless list of achievements done with such determination and ability! She was a caring, kind person who has won the total admiration and respect of her Velogirl and Bike Manawatu family.
It is with disbelief and sadness that we say farewell instead of ‘have a safe ride’ or ‘good luck for your next marathon’
“Rest in peace Dear Averil”
We extend all our love and deepest sympathy to her family at this time and wish to offer any help and support if needed.
