June 6 to 7, 2026 · Hiawatha National Forest

Pacific Northwest mood, Upper Peninsula dirt.

Iron & Pine Omnium

A gravel weekend for dark hoodies, cold starts, and a women’s field that helps set the tone.

Think mist, pine sap, camera flash, and a staging area that feels like a scene instead of a generic expo. Day one is a fondo-style group ride. Day two flips into timed sectors and KOM chases. Overall winners are still calculated separately for men, women, and non-binary riders.

Dark hoodie weather

Cold-start air, charcoal layers, and the kind of parking-lot atmosphere that feels better under cloud cover.

Women set the tone

The women’s field is treated like a real headliner here, with equal standing in the story and the scoring.

Real omnium pressure

One day stretches the group. One day detonates it. The table rewards whoever can carry form across both.

Fog in the lot. Fir shadows on the course. Two days to earn the table.

Fondo opener

Day 1 · MK Ultra Gravel

Long miles, rolling pace lines, and a moving-time benchmark that still bites.

Day 2 · Hiawatha's Revenge

Scene Setting

Built like the flyer for the gravel weekend everybody wanted to be seen at.

This version keeps the Hiawatha terrain intact and shifts the visual language: darker, colder, more cinematic, and more specific about the culture around the ride. Less generic race brochure, more forest-night event identity.

Pacific Northwest palette

Deep fir greens, wet-stone neutrals, ember accents, and cream text that reads like a poster taped up in a bike shop window.

More scene than expo

The page now leans toward underground event-flyer energy instead of generic race brochure polish.

Still grounded in the math

The moody visuals do not replace the weekend logic. They frame the scoring system and the category-based leaderboard more clearly.

Outdoor note

Mist line

Cold air hanging over fir tops, the kind of weather that makes the whole start grid feel quieter and more serious.

Outdoor note

Timber stand

A straight-run forest corridor, wet grass under the trees, and the visual texture the page was missing.

Outdoor note

Cloud shelf

Dark ridges and swallowed horizons so the event feels like it belongs outside, not just inside panels and type.

Weekend Flow

Two linked ride days. One final ranking.

The opener establishes moving-time pressure without turning the weekend into a single stopwatch contest. The closer is where sectors and climbs sort the field.

Fondo opener

Day 1 · MK Ultra Gravel

Long miles, rolling pace lines, and a moving-time benchmark that still bites.

An all-day fondo-style group ride where moving time matters without flattening the opener into a pure race.

Scoring System

The mood is cinematic. The math stays blunt.

Fastest category benchmarks are normalized to 100, then weighted across the weekend. The visuals got moodier, but the logic remains strict and readable.

35% weighted contribution

Day 1 moving time

Each rider is benchmarked against the fastest moving time in their category. The opener matters, but it does not overpower the rest of the weekend.

45% weighted contribution

Day 2 gravel sectors

All timed gravel sectors are totaled, benchmarked against the fastest category aggregate, and weighted most heavily to reflect the grinduro pressure.

20% weighted contribution

Day 2 KOM points

Climb points reward riders who race aggressively, even if they are not the absolute fastest across every gravel sector.

Formula

Overall score = day 1 benchmark ratio × 35 + day 2 sector benchmark ratio × 45 + KOM benchmark ratio × 20

Each category is ranked independently. The leaderboard below uses sample rider data so the model and UI can be validated before importing real results.

Leaderboard

Three categories. Three score inputs. One winner in each field.

The leaderboard below still runs on sample data, but the presentation now matches the event identity instead of dropping into a generic utility table.

Live Omnium Model

Overall winners are calculated inside each category.
