• RUSA #1347 PBP rider # 4883, Todd Harmanson of Atlanta,GA who finished in 88:05.

The online survey, conducted through Dec. 31., 2007, polled PBP participants about various aspects of the 1200K ride. Of 617 RUSA riders, 404 participated in the survey, a phenomenal 65 percent response rate. Winners of the vests were selected at random from the respondents.

Results of the survey will be published in the May 2008 issue of American Randonneur. Vests are available through the RUSA store. See page 32.
