Bikers, skiers and runners started the Frosty Bottom 25/50 race near the chalet at Kincaid Park Jan. 7, 2012.

Bikers rule the Frosty Bottom races

Despite winter storm warnings, a recent dump of snow and temperatures hovering just above zero, a record field of more than 200 people chose to spend Saturday biking, running or skiing 50 to 25 miles in the sixth annual Frosty Bottom race. A wicked north wind greeted athletes at the Kincaid Park start line and conditions deteriorated from there. Racers in the 50-mile race finished at Kincaid and those in the 25-miler finished at Hilltop, where lots of new snow made for soft, technical trails for the bikers.

Bikers ruled in all four races. Tim Bernston and Jenna App stormed to overall wins in the 50-mile race and Matt Novakovich and Eeva Latosuo topped the 25-mile races.

Bernston biked his 50 miles in 3 hours, 13 minutes to beat John Lackey by nearly 10 minutes. App topped the women in 3:54:03, followed by Darcy Davis in 4:04.29.

In the 25-mile race, Latosuo cycled to a comfortable 12-minute victory over Tiffanie Novakovich, finishing in 2:11:58. Matt Novakovich won by nearly three minutes, building such a big lead that a broken chain more than a mile from the finish line didn't deter him.
