Three Dubbo riders were crowned NSW Country champions while many others featured on the podiums.
The weekend also incorporated the Southern Cross Junior race, which is a selection event for spots in the NSW cycling team.
Dubbo's Under 17 year riders were extremely strong over the entire weekend.
Haylee Fuller and Danny Barber took the gold medals in their respective NSW Country Championships with Dylan Eather a very close second.
Fuller and Barber were able to back up on the second day to take out the Southern Cross road race.
Fuller lapped the field solo in the women's race while Barber and Eather were joined by three other riders to also lap the rest of the field in the men's event.
Zara Fuller, racing in the U17 women's race, was able to finish fifth on the Sunday to bank a vital State Selection point.
Ben Anderson and Trent Hines were very strong in the U15 Country championship, breaking away from the field to finish with Gold and Silver.
The boys backed that up on the Sunday with Anderson taking the win and Hines finishing in fourth place.
Tom Williamson joined the boys competing in one of his first away trips and performed very strongly.
Isabelle Russel has been putting in some very strong results on the road at recent events.
All her hard work came together on Sunday with Russel finishing in third place to put her well in the running for NSW team selection.
Dubbo's U13 girls are developing a reputation as the group to watch coming through the ranks, turning in strong performances on the weekend.
While a Bathurst rider was able to stay ahead of the pack, taking gold in the Country Championships, it was a Dubbo train that formed behind her and secured the other top spots.
Imogen Fuller finished with silver, Makayla Fuller with bronze, Georgia Farr in fourth and Emily Hines in fifth, to be a big presence in the finishing straight.
Cooper Farr rode very tactical races in the U9 boys.
At one point he quite literally was able to sneak up on his competition to catch them by surprise and cause quite a panic as they reacted to his attack.
This approach provided results with Farr taking the silver medal in the Country Championships.
Local racing returns to the South Geurie course this Saturday where riders will compete in a 43km handicap event on July 20.
Sign on will be from 1pm with the race starting at 2pm.
