And they're off!

The racing season has officially begun.  TBS/CFA Racing started the season with a bang at the RMR Crit Series two weeks ago.  Jodi Harris, Denis Porter and Manny Cypers contested the A flight.  Trent Olsen and Darren Goff fought it out in the B's and Kevan Steed and Ben Towery raced in the C flight.

Denis made a great showing sprinting for 5th place.  Our C flighters finished strong in the pack while the best finishes of the day were the B flight racers.  Darren podium'ed for 3rd place while Trent finished just behind in 4th.  We've also had Dustin Nielsen out there this past week making a strong showing.

The first UCA Points Series race of the season kicks off this weekend in St. George.  The Tour del Sol stage race will feature Manny in the Cat 2's, Darren and Nate Baldwin in the Cat 3's while Ben and Dustin will be joined by Blake Fessler and Doug Olmstead in the Cat 4 division.  This will be a great test of early season fitness and readiness. 

The 3 stage race has a time trial, criterium and road race.  Look for TBS/CFA Racing to make a strong showing.  Starting next week, look for the team in the new black and white kit!
