As dark clouds and wild winds threatened to ruin the night, it didn't deter good numbers turning up for our championship races and our last round of crit racing. All grades were fiercely contested with some strong attacks that saw the premature end to some riders' night. Well done to everyone that competed. Thank you to Gerard White, Sam Smith & Lindsay Burgoyne for marshalling and setting up.
Hope to see everyone at Wallace on Saturday for the last round of the Lake Health Group Summer Road Series.

​The Lake Health Group Summer Road Series continues on Saturday from the Learmonth Yacht Club. It's a handicap so please send your entry into bscc_road@hotmail.com

It was a typical Ballarat summers night with warm temperatures and a fairly stiff northerly wind. These conditions made for some tough racing but that didn't stop some strong riders animating the races as they pleased, making it very entertaining for onlookers. Well done to everyone who came along tonight to guts it out in the heat. Thank you to Jason Birch for setting up and down and for chief marshalling, Paul Carnes for running the juniors and Dan Braunsteins and Darren Gladman for corner marshalling.

Superb conditions greeted riders for the first Friday night crits of the year. The pace was on early in the combined A and B grade with average speeds sitting mostly above 42kms per hour. One by one riders dropped off leaving 4 riders to fight out the final laps. With about 400m to go Simon Ellis took off and the reaction from fellow riders was too slow and too late. An impressive Ellis came through with a comfortable and well-deserved win.
​In C Grade, Patrick Cashin spent quite a bit of time in a solo break away but was unable to hold off a strong chasing group of riders. In the end, it came down to a sprint for the line and it was Stu Brien that was too strong in a well-timed race to the line. The three D Grade riders had to step up to the C Grade race and they didn't disappoint. All raced very competitively with Jeremy Humber showing that he is ready to move up a grade.
​Thank you to Josh Cannon and Jay Bourke for marshalling and Pete Canny for setting up and marshalling. See you next Wednesday before our road race series kicks off on Saturday 11th February.

It was exciting racing and great numbers in all four grades and the juniors tonight. There were attacks left, right and centre, however, it was difficult for any breaks to stay away. Following the races some people mentioned that it was the best quality racing they had seen all summer. The depth and quality of cycling was great to see!
​Thank you to Pete Canny for setting up, packing up and corner marshalling, Miranda Griffiths for corner marshalling and Gerard White and Matt Bowman for chief marshalling.
​We have another night of crits this Friday at the same time with juniors racing from 5:45pm and seniors at 6:15pm. See you all then!

It was great to see a few new riders and some old timers compete in our first crit night of the year. Conditions were warm but there was a fairly stiff breeze from the south that made the racing interesting. Well done and thanks to everyone who got their membership organised to race tonight. A small percentage of the membership fee goes to the club and helps us continue to put racing on. Thank you to Josh Cannon, Andrew Howard and Sam Palanca for marshalling and Tim Canny for setting up.
