Track racing on Friday at the ILT Velodrome kicked off with the Juniors at 6.30pm, who put on one of the most inspiring, exciting nights of racing so far this season to get us all into the racing spirit! Along with all of our super speedy Baxter and Neilson series participants, 28 new riders from Cycling Southland’s development (Wheelers and Flyers) and School Programmes came along for their first night of racing and showcased all the skills and tactics they have been practising with an awesome display of racing. GOOD JOB TEAM!! Really, really awesome to see you out there and getting amongst it!
The Seniors also had a good night of racing and some hard fought competition, particularly in the A Grade, with some of the Junior riders showing their hand senior ranks with some strong performances.
