Out of the 10-strong Bathurst Cycling Club team the Gallagher and Kirby families collected all the medals won by the club.

Sebastian Gallagher blitzed the under 9s field in his time trial (43.120 seconds) to take the gold and fellow BCC member David Kirby was third (44.060).

Kirby also won gold in the four lap scratch race and silver in the sprint derby.

Amelia Kirby was prominent in the under 11s girls division as she claimed silver in all three of her events.

Jenna Gallagher, in under 13 girls, narrowly missed out on time trial gold, finishing just 0.6 seconds behind the winner to take bronze in 36.9000 seconds. Gallagher also found bronze in the scratch and sprint derby.

Twin sisters Sienna and Hallie Allen, also in under 13s girls, were fourth and fifth respectively in the scratch.

Brothers Dominic and Ryan O'Connor (under 11s and 13s respectively) learned a lot in their first open level competition.

Bathurst Cycling Club junior coach and mother of Jenna and Sebastian, Toireasa, said it's also great to see siblings encourage one another on the track and push each other along.

"It goes to show how much of a family sport it is," she said.

"Our focus is always on fun but we still train hard. The kids really want to do well so they put the effort in and obviously it's paid off come championship time."

Gallagher and Scott Allen coached the young riders to their impressive collection of results - efforts that bode well for the future of the club's track program.

At the under 13s level the goal for the club is very much one of development as opposed to performance, and Gallagher said making sure the young riders are enjoying themselves remains priority one.

"It's one day a week training and then one day of racing so it's not a full-time sport," she said.

"It's about developing their skills so it's a lifelong sport, not just something where they move on to the next thing because they burn out."

Bathurst also had two members in the Under 9s participation category, with Theo O'Connor, 6, the fastest in all three races. Nadia Gallagher, 4, came home second as both riders picked up participation ribbons.

Gallagher said cycling is just one of many sporting avenues her children have enjoyed.

"It's great that they're into sport like their parents but we balance things out. We make sure that they're doing other sports on the side. It was never 'You have to do bike riding'," she said.

"But they do love their cycling. They enjoy the friendships they make and it's a great social thing for them."

Meanwhile, Geoff Short took the honours in Bathurst Cycling Club's three roads all in handicap over the weekend.

Short finished three second clear of Phil Stapleton with Rob Stephen third. The three riders worked well together in the 19 minute group.
