Paris to Ancaster 2012

So we had one of the driest winters on record, not much rain leading up to Saturday and then Sunday morning, it pours!  However for Adam and I doing the St. George distance, it stopped raining a few minutes before our start time and overall the conditions were pretty good, much better than last years epic snowfall.  Adam and I worked very well together, bridging up to groups of riders and drafting them until it was time to drop them.  In the end we ended up representing the club with 2 podiums, mine being a 3rd place in the Mens 30-39 and Adam with a 2nd place in the Mens 40-49.

The boys doing the 60km had a tough time.  Jody and ChrisB didn't start due to injuries and illness.  :(  Drew and Chris L couldn't finish due to mechanicals.  :'(

This race is epic in so many ways!

Happy to be done... until next year!
