The Elite Circuit Series is made up of events around Britain where the best riders in the country race around a small circuit, usually a Town Centre, for an hour or so with points given to the top 20 plus those in the top three for two special sprints during each race. The 2006 series was won by Malcolm Elliott and in 2007, it went down to the wire with Kiwi Gordon McCauley taking the victory after a great ride in Warwick.
