Surf City weekend Saturday Oct. 29th

There's a lot of people to thank for making this happen- our second edition of the Rock Lobster/Surf City cyclocross at the Crest Ranch. First, I have to thank the Crest Ranch for letting us invade their property with hundreds of racers and enthusiasts. Secondly I would like to give a big shout out to Sightline Construction for providing sanitation facilities and for behind the scenes support of the team and the event. Also, I would like to thank Jeff Clark, David Crum, Rod Hernandez, Justin Eatinger, Will Bachar , Joey Kochlacs and all of our team and volunteers that really brought their 'A' game. A big thanks goes to Rick Ortenblad for the podium backdrop and to Campbell Steers for all the hand printed wooden medals. I really want to thank Giro, Ibis,Voler,Bell and all the companies that step up for a local event, even if it is out in the sticks and not on the national calendar. A big thanks to Spokesman bicycles for the neutral support. I can't complete this without thanking the guy who put it all together- Brendan Lehman. Brendan worked on all aspects of organizing the event - no easy task. He did the work of many people and this year's event went smoother than any Surf City CX I have witnessed, and that has been many. It looks like we will be coming back to the Crest Ranch in 2023 so I guess we passed the two year audition !
Saturday was a day of big fields of riders and huge clouds of dust as the conditions were very dry for late October. Riders finished with faces resembling coal miners as the loose soil covered bodies and bikes.
