The road season opened on Sunday March 10 with the first of 7 road races that comprise the dEVo Powerbar/Ryders/Adidas/Louis Garneau Spring Road Race Series.
The race started with cloudy skies but dry conditions and a temperature of around 7C. This lasted for about one of the 6.2km laps as a steady rain came down for the remainder of the race making conditions very miserable. The men's A race was contested over 93km and saw Sympatico's Min Van Velzen leave his break companion of the last six laps, Dylan Sebel, for the win.
In the B group a strong group of about eight riders went clear with about 30km left in the 68km race with Escape Velocity's Ken Johnson taking the win.
In the C group, Dag Sharman left the group on the final lap to solo in for the win.
