Kerlin and BJM Win Surf City Number BOO

Although many of the NorCal Elite were back East for the USGP races, two familiar winners prevailed at Sunday's festive Halloween-themed Velo Bella Surf City Cyclocross race. Sarah Kerlin (Velo Bella) and Ben Jacques-Maynes (Kodak/Sierra Nevada) took comfortable victories in the Women's and Men's A races on a fast course at Soquel HS. Rich Maile scored an impressive victory in the SingleSpeed class with a time that would have made him 2nd in the A race. Kudos to the Bellas for attracting a strong Junior turnout (esp Junior B's).

Other A winners: Jeremy Blalock (Junior), Alan Coates (M35), Larry Hibbard (M45), and Melanie Dominguez (M35 Women). Mike Hernandez was 2nd in both M35 and Senior A.
