The riders in the final stage of the 2013 Tour of Fairbanks bike race spent three hours going up and down long climbs and fighting crosswinds and headwinds Sunday, but all the effort did little to change the outcome of the overall rankings - at least at the top of the heap.  Tyson Flaharty (Goldstream Sports) and Sheryl Loan (Kaladi-Subway) easily held onto their overnight leads to emerge as the ToF champions.

Tyson Flaharty and Sheryl Loan continue to hold comfortable leads in the 2013 Tour of Fairbanks bike race.  After a double-stage day on Saturday Goldstream Sports' Flaharty has a 2:23 lead on Anchorage's Richard Tilton of Kaladi-Subway.  Loan (Kaladi-Subway) has an even more comfortable advantage - 5:30 over teammate Jeni Winegarner.

Richard Tilton (Kaladi-Subway) edged out Goldstream Sports Tyson Flaharty for top honors in the men's 45 minutes plus three laps criterium at the North Pole Speedway - the second stage in the 2013 Tour of Fairbanks.

Tyson Flaharty and Sheryl Loan were the winners in the first stage of the 2013 Tour of Fairbanks stage race. Loan won the women's race by more than 2 minutes over her Kaladi-Subway Teammates Jeni Winegarner and daughter Kinsey Loan.  Flaharty (Goldstream Sports) was more than half-a-minute clear of runner up John Sindell of Pipsport/Chain Reaction.  Pipsport riders James Stull and Will Ross were third and fourth.

Wednesday night's race was the 22nd Annual Water Walk and Run, celebrating National Drinking Water Week, sponsored by Golden Heart Utilities.  The out-and-back 5Km course ran on the bike path along the river west from the water plant.  The temperature was in the high 40's to low 50's -- the warmest day for a running race so far this "spring."
