AJCC was well represented at the Paris to Ancaster race again this year. We had women and men from under 15 to over 50 racing.
Congratulations in particular to Logan Earhart who finished first among 11-15 year old males on the 60km course in a time of 2h 33m 8s and to Heather Gray who placed second among 30-something women on her old clunker of a mountain bike with the front derailleur locked in one ring and some of the slowest, knobbiest tires available (watch out though, Heather has a new bike for the OCup season)! Linda Shin finished a respectable 7th of 38 in the same category.
By all accounts everyone else had a pretty good day at the races too, including some personal best finishing times. The weather was fine with a cool start but sunshine and moderate winds later on. The course was generally dry but that didn’t prevent one farmyard from having some of the stickiest mud any of us has ever seen. The final hill, as always, was a killer.
