The B.C. Track Cycling Championships took place at the Westshore Velodrome at the Juan de Fuca Recreation Centre in Colwood recently.
The weather held for the event and Ian Phillips, a member of the Greater Victoria Velodrome Association, said it was nice to see young and elite riders all competing at the same event.
The toughest part for any rider was the mental aspect, Phillips said, noting some riders competed in eight races per day between sprints, distances, heats, semifinals and finals.
