Race format of the night: Individual time trial, mass start
Race results: Tonight’s season ending time trial was surrounded with chit-chat from cheerful “Good luck and have fun at Birkie”, “See you soon on the bike”, to saddened “Boy, it was a fun season, but it sure went fast”. When the “shotgun” went off, everyone left all those feelings behind and raced all their heart out, as usual. Chip Tabor took the lead from the start to end, posted the winning time at 12:37, and smiley Anna McLoon trailed only 16 seconds behind and won the women overall and 2nd in men & women overall at 12:53. John Hopkins had a strong race and finished 12:58 with Erik Erickson claimed the 3rd place in men at 13:37.
