“The fast course of Fontana, CA was stop one for the 2008 National Mountain Bike Series (NMBS). It was a good thing that it was chosen for the first race of the season too as this course is usually a giant sand pit but with the recent rains of California the course was not in its usual loose sandy mess but it was still bad enough for some good crashes…”

I love MTB season!

I received an update today from the team manager of Team Sho-Air/Sonance/Rock N’ Road, giving me an update of the points from last weekends first CA State Series Teams Competition. It looks like there was a mistake in the scoring of points, which left the Sho-Air/Rock N’ Road team in second behind last years Team Competition Champions, Platinum Performance. Then after officials looked back at the scoring process it was realized that the two teams are actually tied after the first week of racing.

This is going to be a tough battle all season as both these teams have strong riders for their respective categories. You will have to check out the EVENT COVERAGE of the series to see what is going on with the battle.

Until the next race:
March 29-30, 2008
Southridge NORBA National #1/ Southern California State Series Race #2,
Fontana, CA
