Success at Tour of Anchorage!

Team Speedway-Alyeska had its best tour in its 3 year history (okay, so this is our first year as Speedway-Alyeska, but we did exist as Alaska McDonald's last year, and Alaska Waste before that). We started the race with a super-strong team with outside favorites Dan Folmar and Evan Hyde. I'll spare the gritty details of each race, but here's the quick shake-down:

• Prologue: Dan Folmar 3rd, Evan Hyde 4th, Jim Peot 5th
• Stage 1, Clarks Road Hill Climb: A big win for Evan
• Stage 2, Downtown Crit: Evan 3rd
• Stage 3, Moose Run TT: Dan 2nd
• Stage 4, Kincaid Road Race: Another big win by Carey Grumelot
• Final overal: Dan 3rd

2 wins, 3rd overall, and at least a podium in every stage. Not too shaby. And it's important to point out that both wins were won the way real men do it, by taking a big gamble with a break.
