BAR Standing Updated

By now you've probably figured out that I skipped the new race up in Hampstead, Maryland. If you've never heard of it, I'm sure your not alone. It is just west of East Something. Anyway Freddy and John got some points there, so I'm about thirty points down on on the also rans. The leader has evidently upgraded, so perhaps us wee mortals can surpass him by season's end. Here is the top ten:
1 190 Evan Fader Rt 1 Velo/Capitol Hill Bikes
2 117 Frederik Andersson NCVC/Inova Health System
3 111 Wade Jennings NCVC/Inova Health System
4 109 Bo Lee WWVC/10-8 Duty Gear Cycling
5 104 John Raley Artemis
6 86 Nathan Coleman Johns Hopkins
7 78 Mark Kerlin Evolution/Team DLS
8 63 Curtis Winsor ABRT/Team Snow Valley
9 53 Mike Esmonde Rt 1 Velo/Capitol Hill Bikes
10 48 Nick Pakulla ABRT/Team Snow Valley

Despite scoring didley=squat points in the last month, I'm still 7th, just 39 points out of second. One showcase win and I'm back on terms. I know Frederick's wife is expecting in the next month or two, and Bo Lee is burnt out, and Evan Fader has upgraded, so if I can start to beat Wade and John consistently I can get into the mix. Nathan Coleman is a college guy so he might not be here for the summer, I don't know. I won't be missing any races for awhile, and I have a couple time trials coming up - of the top 7, I think only Freddy is likely to do any tts. I will continue to hold the intention of winnning the BAR, and take it one race at a time!
