It was the first time I'd been to live indoor track cycling and it was really impressive. There was a full programme of finals, and a wide selection of events, including time trials, pursuits, points race, scratch race and the keirin. Australia pipped Great Britain in the final of the men's team pursuit and the crowd loved it, but the highlight of our night was the men's scratch race where NZer Tom Scully rode brilliantly to win gold.
Woman's points race, which was also really good to watch
NZ men's team pursuit who smashed the Dutch in the race for bronze
The half time entertainment was another highlight with the history of cycling on display, including the hobby horse, the first 'bike' ever made, with no pedals.

And a selection of others, inlcluding a pedal driven tricycle
