Torrance Crit – SD Omnium
Posted on March 19, 2008
Check out the Torrance Crit flyer. I like the IRON MAIDEN look.
BTW, I like that course a lot. Short and very fast course. Great to get away and long enough straightaway for a sprint.
Also, SD Omnium opened registration and I am wondering if this year they will cap the TT at 300 people. It would be nice to have a full field for the TT but I know getting the permit to close Fiesta Island until 10 am is close to impossible. In any case, I know I WILL NOT sign up for boulevard

Has the SD Omnium always been the Fiesta Island TT course? I thought it was a tougher course in previous years.
no, it was was held at Buckman Springs, which is on the way out to Boulevard. It consisted in the first 5 miles or so of the Road Race, then back to the start line.
I honestly wish that that course would come back. ALL OF IT. Boulevard is just a really hard road race. At least the old SD Omnium race gave everyone a chance, even climbers.
I guess the neighborhood just said no and that was that. Too bad.
The Fiesta Island TT course is not bad at all as it can get windy, but it is not like you don’t know what will happen. It’s closed to traffic, pavement is smooth as can be, a pure test of speed.
I’ve never done it, not sure if I ever will as you have to sign up like a yer in advance. I thought SDOmnium might be a good chance to do the TT.
it is , but it is only 2 laps instead of the 3 laps. Very short, but painful nonetheless
