HBG sponsored athletes dominate NMBS, Fontana, California.

This past weekend we attended the first National Mountain Bike Series (NMBS) of the season. NMBS is one of the top racing series in the country and draws the best riders from North America and some from abroad. The Hayes Bicycle Group crew included Matt Eglin, Mike Dunn, Jon Wells, and Clayton Goldsmith. We were given a preferred location for our complete trailer set-up directly across from start/finish and race control.

HBG sponsored athletes dominated by winning 4 of the professional events. The results went far beyond these key victories, I can't list them all, proving that our current product offering is successful at the highest level of competition. Below is a summary of our key results.

This coming weekend Matt Eglin and I will at the second NMBS race down in Phoenix, Arizona.

Cheers! -Clayton
