MONDAY night saw a good roll up of riders to the velodrome at Eridge Park. Although the amount of available daylight limits the amount of racing this early in the season we still managed to get through some flying 200m, a 20 lap scratch race, a handicap and an Italian Pursuit.

On Tuesday night 25 riders took a chance on the weather and were rewarded with a dry race over the hilly Wombeyan Caves Road course, Pam Vollebregt was first away with husband Richard the lone scratch rider some 36 minutes later.
