HammerHead bikes mountain bike team has been very busy with racing and showcasing our sponsors during the first 6 months of the year. The team has been focusing on several series and single day events:
- Kenda Cup West/California State Series
- Arizona State Series
- ProXC Tour
- Epic Rides events
- Sea Otter
Some of our members have been traveling to California to compete in the Kenda Cup West/California State series with some good results. Steve Hughes currently sits in 3rd place overall in his Category 1 age group and has been on the podium in every race, including Sea Otter. Art Macfarland continues to chase one of the top 3 steps on the podium, and currently sits in 5th place in a very competitive 45-49 Cat 1 age group. Jeff Herrera has been the star in the pro field, consistently finishing in the top third of a very difficult pro class. Competing against the likes of Todd Wells, Sam Schultz, and Tinker Juarez. Jeff managed to finish a very respectable 47th place out of over 130 riders at Sea Otter in lieu of starting at the back of the field. Not an easy task considering the course and the world caliber competition present.
The Arizona State Series just ended and Jeff Herrera was crowned the Arizona State Champion in the Pro category by being the most consistent rider. Art Macfarland finished a respectable 4th overall in the Single Speed Open category competing against riders half his age. Steve Hughes finished demolished his age group in 2009 and decided to race in a younger category and still managed to finish 7th overall. A great job by all riders.
Epic Rides started the season with the 24 Hours of the Old Pueblo, and HammerHead managed to finish 3rd out of 140 teams. Two riders joined Jeff and Art to finish strong even after having some mishaps through the night. The highlight of the season was Jeff Herrera's second place at Epic Rides finishing just behind Andy Schultz a full time pro rider and beating the likes of Tinker Juarez. As Jeff stated "This was one of the highlights of my career only to get overshadow by recently winning of the 2010 AZ MTB Association Series Championship (MBAA)."
