Short answer: No.
Longer answer: If you take a look at the list, you will see that it's a very big text file. The columns are not of a fixed width, the field separators are a combination of spaces and tabs, and it has a variety of notes embedded (i.e., listings of the smallest, oldest, youngest, etc.). The file is organized under headings, as opposed to having the ride listed on each line. All of these make it difficult, if not impossible, to automate entering it into a database, or at best, it could only be loaded in very small sections.
In short, the list will take a considerable amount of massaging before it could be loaded into a database. This is in addition to doing the database design, which is dependent on the use to which it would be placed. In this regard, the average user just wants to look up a name or two. Others would want to be able to answer a variety of questions, such as "how many riders from India have completed a Bun Burner 1500?", or "what is the oldest bike to complete a Bun Burner GOLD?".
This project would be non-trivial. I mention this because neither you nor Mike would want to initiate it, just to find out that it is beyond the capability or time constrains of the volunteer.
