Hello All, and thanks for coming out for the New Year's Bike/Run/Both Time Trial! This year an anonymous donor (no, not me) donated cash prizes for first male/female biker/runner, so congratulations to Heather Clayborn and Mike Cordova (fastest bikers) and to Sena Minshew and Greg Watkins (fastest runners.) And for anyone who biked slower than 15m 18 seconds, you got beaten by a 63-year-old man. Jim, we all want to be like you when we grow up. :-)

Here are the results:
