Twilight Series 2016-17 Round 1 Results

Thanks to everyone for coming out to round one of the Twilight Series. We had a very big field of 238 riders with all but one of the senior grades reaching capacity. Sorry for those that missed out, you have to get in early! Hamilton members can nominate in advance to handicappers@hamiltonwheelers.com

Best wishes to the two riders who were injured in a crash in B2, Mark Whitelaw and a Taylor Cycles rider. We will get an update for you ASAP.

We had some great junior racing to kick it off and we hope to build numbers over the series.
