Junior Racing
Our first night of racing for 2013 was full of the promise of things to come as we enter the business end of the season. There were some great performances – particularly in the Team Pursuits, where there has been a massive improvement across the board, and it was clear that some riders had put in the hard yards during the Christmas break. Keep up the hard work girls and boys ... we are on the countdown to Nationals now!

Senior Racing
Big numbers made for some great Senior Racing, and with only a couple of weeks until Elite / U19 Nationals, it was clear that speed was on the minds of most of these riders, with some very fast racing! Cam Karwowski was on fire, and it was great to see U19 riders Liam Aitcheson and Josh Haggerty keeping him honest, with Piet Bulling, Aimee Burns and sprinters Karl Watson and Tom Beadle also looking sharp.
The New Year Carnival promises some great racing!
