Fall 8hrs

Hardwood Hills.

The last MTB race of 2016 was a beauty!  Great racing temps, sunny skies, and good company made the day aweome.  Not to mention a fun course.  We also welcomed a new Black Fly to the squad, Arjen who fit in perfectly with the team.  Looking forward to more races next year! We had two 5-6 Person teams and both gave it their all and finished 4th and 7th outta 13 teams.  However, the race highlight of the day and perhaps of Black Fly Racing's 12 year history was Adam, competing in the Solo 40-49 category.  Adam finished in 9th place out of 31 competitors in 13 laps.  That's 130km's in under 8hrs.  Amazing.

Dairy Capital Stampede

Woodstock.  Under cool yet sunny sky's, 4 BlackFly's entered what could be a new fixture on the race calender.  Adam, Stephen, Cam and Marty twisted and turned through the mostly flat course at the Pines, near Woodstock.  We came in a very respectable 6th out of 18 teams but most importantly had a great time doing it.

Paris Ancaster 2016

The beginning of spring comes with another P2A.  This honest, brutal and utterly painful event seems to be in our blood.  Someone associated with the different incarnations of our club has participated in Paris-Ancaster's every year since 2004.  This year we had ChrissyB and Drew racing the full 70km distance while Adam, Cam, JonH and Marty raced the much more humane 40km.  No matter what, the climb is still hard.  For 12 years, I've gotten up that climb without having to walk, an achievement I've always been proud of.  Well, this year my streak came to an end as the spasm's in my legs forced me off my machine.  Hill 1, Marty 0.  See you next year.
