Proudly presented by the Blackburn Cycling Club and aboc Cycle Coaching.
This graded match sprint series is sponsored by Bontrager Australia and run at the Blackburn Cycling club velodrome over the summer of 2008-2009, with a race meeting once a month from October to April. The series is open to Senior (adult) riders and J19 juniors. Riders younger than J19 are not able to compete in this series.

The series is a graded match sprint series, with 3 grades racing on each day. Riders qualify at first with flying 200s and are then split into grades where there will be a round robin or partial round robin to determine the top four riders from each grade, who then race for the top three places.
All results and photos from the first series (2007-2008) are available here.

Entry fees are $10 per rider per day and it is expected that each rider will have the opportunity to have three match sprints per day plus finals. You will not be eliminated in the first round. The aim of this series is for riders to gain experience and to get as much time racing as we can squeeze into an afternoon. All riders and spectators are welcome to the post-racing free BBQ.

Prizemoney is paid as a percentage of the entry fees collected on the day and an aggregate prize of a pair of Bontrager Race-X-Lite aero track wheels (RRP $1299) for the highest point scorer through the series and a runners up prize of a pair of Bontrager road shoes (TBA) as well as a daily aggregate prize of a pair of Bontrager Race-Lite tyres ($RRP $120 a pair). Our total prize pool is approximately $2500.
