Folmar, Donley off to swift cycling start

Daniel Folmar and Shannon Donley set the early-season pace while Brendan McKee eked out the closest victory of the day Saturday at the first bike race of the season.

Nearly 100 cyclists took advantage of sunny skies and dry roads to compete in the Arctic Bicycle Club's 9.9-mile Portage Glacier time trial.

Folmar topped the men in 21 minutes, 45.4 seconds and Donley lead the women in 25:05.3. Both won by nearly a minute, which was an eternity compared to the one-second victory McKee claimed over Jim Anderson in the master men's division.

Racing continues Wednesday with the Potter Valley hill climb, which starts at 7 p.m.
