<div> Local riders made a strong showing.

Namrita O'Dea took the women's solo honors. Complete race results are posted online at the official <A HREF="http://burn24hour.com" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://burn24hour.com"><U>BURN 24-Hour website</U></A>.</div> <bR> <div> BMCC's Jason Bumgarner coordinated the club's efforts at the BURN.</div> <bR> <div> "We had another impressive turn out for this year’s race. I’m tired and I didn’t even race. I do want to thank all of the volunteers that came out between Thursday evening and Monday morning to help with everything from trail maintenance, scoring & timing, staffing the checkpoint, clean up and tear down. Hendershot told me that this is one of the most enjoyable races he does all year. That says a lot for our trails coming from someone who races bicycles for a living. To top it all off, BMCC’s own Middle Ring Mafia brought home the win in their category. We build them and then step on necks when we race them!" Jason said.</div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
