race results

so i don't remember exactly how many people showed up. it was cold, suprise, suprise. but i think everyone had a good time. top three are as follows.
1.greg battista
2.chris tallman
3.matt duthie
after that i lost track. unfortunately, the guy who actually finished first, missed a checkpoint. a very easy one at that. i don't remember your name, so if you see this, drop a line. thanks to everyone who came out. the included pic is not of the winner. but i'll be damned if he doesn't look like a champ!

so here's the next race. as many of you i'm sure already know, sheldon brown passed away today. in his honor, we will be accepting donations, and contributing to a local bike advocacy group. we will do so anonymously, this will help us to preserve what jimmyrigged does. we are not affiliated with any shops or groups. we just like bikes, as does most everyone else who shows up to these events. that being said, i hope to see a few of you out there. we'll be there rain sleet, or snow. let's hope for one of those 50 degree february days on the 16th. there will be modest prizes. questions, comments, concerns, volunteers, you know what to do.
