NCS Points update after Superdromes Matrix Cup pb Richardson Bike Mart

The first NCS event of the season has been run and won and we have the points updated before the series heads to the National Sports Center's Fixed Gear Classic early in June. On the Mens side, it's Chris Carlson out to the early lead ahead of Zack Carlson and Andrew Armstrong tied for 2nd place. It is a Matrix RBM logjam at the head of the mens standings with all three riders representing that team. On the womens side, Bicycles Plus Lauren Stephens took advantage from the low rider numbers to win most of the events and hold a healthy early lead ahead of Suzie Goodwin. We look forward to see all the racers hit the track in Blaine next month, see details for the Fixed Gear Classic over at the NSC Velodrome website: http://www.nscsports.com/sports/cycling/index.htm
