Surf City Overall after #2

Math is hard. But we scribbled and scrawled and figured it out. Here are the points after the first two events in the Surf City Series.

Ben Jacques-Maynes (Kodak/Sierra Nevada) seems to have a commanding lead over Mike Hernandez (Safeway Bag Boy) and David Wyandt (Boomswagger.boom) in the Men's A Presented by Kona. But with the added variable of USGP racers at the last event anything could happen. Ben could oversleep, Mike could get a hole shot (right), and David could get his Boomswagger sponsors to pony upsome extra boom.

Sarah Kerlin (Velo Bella) has a slight lead over her teammate, Ann Fitzsimmons and Stella Carey (Kelly Bike) in the Women's A Presented by Bicycle Trip. Sarah, resplendent in her purple horns and tail, took over the lead with a great performance at the Halloween event. The rest of Kerlin's 47 teammates will be at the final event, so look for things to shake up a little in this category.

Jeremy Blalock (Joselyn's Bicycles) and Logan Loader (Alan Bike) are in a dead heat tie in the Junior A event Present by Bontager. More than pride is at stake here as the overall series winner gets to take home a set of Bontrager XLite tubular wheels. Don't you wish you were 17?

Consistency has paid off for David Eastwood (Art by Opsal). He leads the Men35+A Presented by Bicycle Outfitter over cross stalwart, Mikey Matthews (BuyCell.com) and the resurrected Tim Thompson (Flossaid/Eurocycling). Nipping at all of their heels though is the corpuscled winner of race #2, Alan Coats (Amgen).

Hey Look! Larry Hibbard (Family Cycling Center) is leading the Men 45+A. Mark Abele (Boure/Rivendell) is in a solid 2nd place.

Other category leaders include:
Melanie Dominguez (Bike Trip) - Women 35+
Katrina Baumsteiger (Black Market Racing) - Women B
Julianna Perry (Dirty Diaper (ewww)) - Women C
Jesse Nickell (Bike Trip) - Jr B
Robert Mau (Needs a sponsor) - Men B Presented by Scotts Valley Cycles
Murray Swanson (Pen Velo/Kondra Sys) - Men 35B
Matt Dunstan (Scotts Valley Cycles) - Men 45B
Eric Lowe (C's don't need no sponsors) - Men C
and riding like a man posessed,
Rich Maile (Art by Opsal) - Singlespeed
