After 3 man relay team captain Ron MacNeil broke his collar bone days before the race, last minute sub, Andrew Rees stepped in. 3 minutes into his first lap he then stepped out as he broke his fork brace. Luckily Dave had the same pedals, so the great bike swap ensued for the rest of the 8 hour race.

The weather was great for this years Epic 8 hour race in Mansfield. Attended by several NBCC members. Two man tag team Chris Kmiec and Ed wozney, (Team 69), 3-4 man team Dave Hill (the beer-a-lap strategy seems to have worked!), and 3-4 man team (northern Ont. Rocks and Dirt), Dave Henschel, Andrew Rees, and Aaron Thompson
