Hi everyone and wow it is certainly humming at the Velodrome lately,

The Junior Talent Development Camp and Mid-Winter Carnival are over and what a week that was too. The depth of talent we’ve been hosting here was mighty impressive and the racing across all age groups at the Carnival was totally awesome.

Huge well done to all who took part and to those who helped to keep things running smoothly. View the full results and check out the article
