The athletes, who are presently in camp told Tidesports that they are working hard to ensure that the association excel when the fiesta gets underway.
Tidesports gathered that the team has sustained the monthly cycling competition which takes place every first Saturday of every month as part of preparations to fortify the state cyclists for the task ahead.
The association which attributed its previous success to commitment and hard work added that this year’s NSF would not be an exception to their glory.
