First night of the Cantina Bendigo Twilight series saw small fields contest four grades of scratch races round the Emu Creek circuit in blustery conditions.

The 2018/19 Dale Lowe Signs Summer Series wrapped up this morning with a big field of 37 riders lining up at Emu Creek in perfect conditions.

There was a lot riding (no pun intended) on tonight's Dale Lowe Signs Summer Series handicap at Emu Creek.

Congrats to club members who raced in the Camperdown to Warrnambool yesterday - sounds like a pretty rapid race!

Finally got a race in for this year's Dale Lowe Signs Summer Series after a couple of cancellations. Crits at Murphy Street attracted small fields but good racing. A grade field stuck together for most of the 40 minutes before Martin Banfield and Brent Gibson moved clear and maintained a big break on the rest until the finish where Marty outgunned Brent for the win with Sean white running third. In B Grade Phil Bone got away half way through and maintained the lead to the end, thanks to a gutsy solo ride and the lack of a coordinated chase from behind. Chris Landvogt broke clear on the last lap to run second and Chris Draper finished third. The C Graders rode a well-paced race which saw most of the field together until the final lap. Greg Chapman took off with at the bell and stayed clear of a determined Carl Louchard to win convincingly with Wendy Bennett running third.

If you ordered a perfect day for a bike race at Woodstock, you would ask for today - sunny and cool with just a light breeze. 

The Vet's 2019 season finally got underway this morning after Wednesday evening's Dale Lowe Signs Summer Series was called off.

Tonight was the last Dale Lowe Signs Summer Series for 2018, and now the officials can take a well-earned break until hostilities resume on January 29th 2019.

Today’s 56km Christmas handicap was sponsored by Nemisis Athletic Apparel. 42 riders fronted the start line with the handicappers dividing the field into 7 bunches.

At 6 o'clock it looked pretty doubtful that tonight's Dale Lowe Signs Summer Series crits at the Brickworks would go ahead, but miraculously the rain stayed away until the last lap of the last race.
