UPDATED: Hammerhead Sweeps!

Four Hammerheads participated in the Team Ortho "November to Remember" 6 hour race this weekend at Camp Eagle and three came home with first place finishes!

Dave Esper took first over Billy Kurtz and Cody Baron in the P/S/E category.

Charles Covill took first in the Solo Expert category, completing seven laps and beating out all the other racers for the overall win.

Vallarie Richards (that's me!) took first in the Solo Sport category, completing six laps and beating all the other sport boys for the win.

I was remiss in not mentioning the extraordinary showing of Keith Gray. Keith and Travis (Team Mello Vello) led the race for what seemed like an eternity. I think that Keith held the overall race lead for nearly 5 of the 6 hours. Keith and Travis were the first to lap me, and it was a long long long time before anyone else came along. They both rode by me like I was standing still. Keith says that he bonked, but he still held on to 4th place, making for a Hammerhead sandwich in the Expert Solo class.

Great venue! Great course! Great race!
