CC Giro's Beth Clayton got racing underway in the first event of the National Women's Omnium. Clayton's time for the 500m TT was 44.09s setting a good standard for all the other competitors


Planet X's Janet Birkmyre (above) and City of Edinburgh RC's Kate Cullen battled it out for top spot in the Omnium 500m TT. Birkmyre won with 39.49s as Cullen has to settle for second with 40.24s in the windy conditions.
