Race Reports From the TLD 2 Day:
Saturday saw all riders in Critrium mode, competing on the Toowoomba Critrium Circuit on a shortened 1100m "hotdog" track, yet again highlighting the versatility of this premium purpose built circuit.
Sunday all comers were back plus a few more, with the circuit extended to include the high speed sweeper & uphill loop for the Kermesse racing.
Weather was picture perfect over the course of the weekend albeit a little hot, with the rain gods allowing the Elite A riders to complete their racing before the deluge was released.
The concensus from the majority of the riders, spectators & officals was that the TLD 2 Day has done a outstanding job in taking over from the previous incarnation of the Oakey 2 Day.
Racing from all grades was intense with high speeds & high risk, unfortunately with the later came a few spills, TCC & TLD wish all riders that sustained an injury a speedy recovery.
The highlight for the weekend was undoubtly the Elite A Kermesse, with QAS team mates David Edwards & Jordan Kerby, taking the bull by the horns & lapping the entire Elite A field which included quite a few big names in SE Qld cycing.
Other notable mentiones were TCC riders Aaron Hay*** & Harvey Silk taking the Saturday/Sunday Double & Joshua Watson also completed the double in under 17 which also saw him take 2nd place in the Masters B Kermesse overall. Mainline racing also asserted their dominance once again in Masters A filling the podium both days.

Also a big thanks must go out to race director Daid Silk, Damien Doran (Director Time Line Drafting), all the CQ officials, volunteers & parents involved in the weekend. Without any of these people we would struggle to produce racing of this caliber & of this professional a level.
