Siblings top Fireweed's 200-mile race

The brother-sister team of Caitlin and Scott Patterson beat all of the all-men's teams in the 200-mile race of the weekend's Fireweed 400, Alaska's biggest bicycle race with 806 riders entered. Of those, more than 500 participated in the 200-mile race that began at Sheep Mountain Lodge and ended in Valdez.

The Pattersons covered the scenic and demanding route in 9 hours, 29 minutes, 58 seconds. They were 62 seconds faster than the top all-male team of Ben Arians and Brian Erickson, who made it to Valdez in 9:31.

Individual titles went to Daniel Folmar, who clocked 9:24:14 in a race that includes climbs of 3,322-foot Eureka Summit and 2,678-foot Thompson Pass; Wyatt Mayo, who won the non-drafting ride division in 9:42:18, three seconds ahead of David Norris; and Buffie Cubit, the only woman to do the individual 200-miler, in 16:48:44.
