NACSWorld.COM team enjoyed a very active early season. First off the mark were Brian and Steve in the on-road/off-road 'Tour of Bronte'. Racing against elite riders this time in the open category Brian and Steve were in the thick of the action from the start, with Steve eventually finishing in the leading 'breakaway' group for a fine 4th place. Next up almost the whole team travelled to Calabogie Motor sports Park, almost at Ottawa for the first round of the season long 'Ontario Cup'. This time it was Brian who was our main animator finishing in 7th place after a very soggy 100 kilometres.
The traditional season opener 'Good Friday road race' wasn't the first race this year, but, as always was very well attended. After a fast race it all came together for a big 'bunch' sprint where Kevin managed a 3rd place.
Next was Springbank road race in London, Ontario. Where, again it was all together until right near the end, when Bruce Bird from our friends at Wheels of Bloor escaped from the front of the group along with Paolo Eugeni from Team Z. Paolo took the win with Nacsworld's Kevin behind in 4th.
'Bike the Bruce' was our next race and it was NACSWorld team that shook the race apart in the final kilometres with Brian and Ilija taking turns at the front keeping the pace very high. The team managed a 6th place which was not as much as we'd hoped for but with lessons learned and confidence gained, we hoped to do better next time.
That opportunity came the next week during the Nith River road race at Wellesley Ontario, with Kevin gaining a second place behind the man to beat this year, Bruce Bird of Wheels of Bloor.
