Eugene Hill Climb Overall

Richard Sweet

2004-05-17



The overall standings after two events. If you are equal on points then

the placing is based on attendance, if you showed up twice and the other

person showed up once you will be higher placed. If equal on attendance

it is based on combined time, I have listed the time if that is the

case.







The weather person is calling for the few showers tomorrow to taper off

early afternoon so let's all hope we get another dry night of racing.

There is some close racing going on in a few of the fields while some

racers have hardly been challenged in their fields. The Cat 3 women,

Tan, SS, Junior, Women 1/2 and 40+ women have had 1-2 riders each week,

either they have all scared off their competition or they are the

hardest of the hardcore to show up each week for the pain that they are

sure to receive.







The cat 1/2 standings are pretty close with Nick Skenzick of Hutch's and

Seth Wilkie of Hayden-Frontier tied on points and only separated by 33

seconds. Omer Kem of Broadmark Capital set the course record last week

at 12:08 which secured him the win and 20 points. If Brian Mitchell of

Hutch's can stay consistent he should be able to hold onto third and is

ready to move up if Nick or Seth have a bad night.

In the Cat 3, 1st and 2nd are separated by 2 seconds. Derek Darves of

Collins Cycles and Richard Sweet of Paul's Bicycle Way of Life should

battle it out to the end. If one of them has a bad night or doesn't make

it out then Ben West of Collins has been performing solid enough to take

over. Jason Thorpe of Uof O Cycling and Eric Kytola of Hutch's are close

behind and ready to strike should the top 3 crack at any time.

Out of no where came Joe King, un-attached, posting some super fast

times he has a fairly solid grip on the 4/5 field. Last Week Boyd

Peibenga posted a excellent time, though he will have to topple Martin

Anderson of the UofO Cycling team before reaching Joe. If he performs

like he did last week it will take this week and next week but he could

over take both Joe and Martin. Leaving Ryan Conrad of UofO and John

Barry to fight for top 5 honors.

The 50+ field has seen a large turnout in this suffer fest. Mark Logan

of Hutch's should stay in the top spot as long as he keeps his pace up.

Roger Johnson of River City Wheelman drives 230 miles round trip to race

his bike for 14 1/2 minutes and it has kept him in the number 2 spot.

Erin Luckhardt has a 4 point lead over Beatrix Sunderland-White who in

turn holds a solid 10 point lead over Candy Walker of Paul's Bicycle Way

of Life. Candy sits just 4 points in front of Veronica Sunderland, with

Lauren May just 3 points further down. I can see the 2nd-5th spots being

hotly contested over the next 2 events as long as they all make it out

to the races.
