Rosemary Hastings, Marian Renshaw and Toireasa Gallagher all earned medals during the event at Dunc Gray Velodrome.
Hastings led the way with gold medals in the 500 metre time trial and 2000m individual pursuit.
A pair of silver medals came Hastings’ way in the 140 years teams pursuit and the Women’s Masters 7 scratch race silver.
Hastings said it was a thrill to find more success at the event.
“It was a wonderful weekend. The Bathurst group is so great to ride with,” she said.
“I enjoyed my races and I was quite proud of being able to ride within the amount of time needed to win gold.”
Even though Hastings competed as the sole Women’s Masters 8 rider it didn’t give her a guaranteed gold medal for competing.
Hastings had to get within a certain distance of the Australian records for her events to secure gold – records which she owns.
“I couldn’t match it with my times this year but I was still really happy with the way I rode,” Hastings said.
Gallagher narrowly missed out on a 2000m individual pursuit medal but went on to finish second in her scratch race. Gallagher added a second silver in the team pursuit.
Renshaw scored a silver double with strong rides in the time trial and team pursuit.
