Perfect conditions greeted the 70 starters for the first night of the Zookeepers Wednesday Worlds.
Raced on the traditional Tisbury, Waimatua circuit, riders contested the five respective races with large fields. Particularly pleasing to see was the introduction of many new riders and a number of juniors who have recently completed the Cycling Southland introductory road programme.
Amongst the division 1 race were a number of local riders fine tuning their training as they prepare for the 61st SBS Bank Tour of Southland next weekend.
