Paris - Ancaster 2014
April 27, 2014
Brenda's back, ChrissyB, Drew and Adam rode new bikes and a few of us battled coughs and colds yesterday were the headlines of yet another edition of Ontario's Spring Classic.
Nice but cool temps and a steady headwind were the weather conditions yesterday for the BlackFlys. However not really that muddy considering the winter we had and the rain this spring has brought us. Most of the mud collected on our bikes was from the usual mud chutes towards the end.
Great results by all including our 70km finishers Chrissy B and Drew.
The St. George race produced three top-34 overall finishers with Adam 4th (who also won the Mens 40-49 category), Marty 10th and Lamey 34th. ChrisL did a great job of pacing his buddy but very well could have opted to stay home in bed. Brenda and Marty competed in the Couples category and finished in 3rd place.
Nice start to the season!

2013 Fall Epic 8hr Relay @Hardwood Hills Ski and Bike
Not pictured: Adam Herring.
L-R: Deaner, Cam, Marty, Lamey, ChrissyB
A quick, killer course of mostly single track action was just what the doctor ordered for probably the last Black Fly race of 2013.
Team Black Fly Racing–The Grey Fly Edition (avg. age 41)–had a fine showing at this year's Fall Epic 8hr Relay. Despite a cloudy and slightly chilly start to the day, we were blessed with sunny skies and toasty temps from late morning onward.
The course was devoid of any monster climbs or epic drops. Instead, we rode through Switchback City, with one tight twist after another... after another. This was the kind of course that made you question your bar width as there were a few moments where breezing through the trees on the downhills required a bit of reflex. Tight as a grape, as one of us muttered.
We chased the 3rd spot all day to finish 4th overall out of 24 teams in our class–a decent showing, to be sure, but as Cam put it, we didn't really want to hang around for the podium ceremonies anyway. We finished, as Dean said, where we wanted to.
Cheers brothers, for a fantastic day of racing, rapping, and napping. Word to all Flies abroad–you were missed, as always.

Night Riding in the Don
Who needs 24 races?
Well, they are awesome but for anyone who has invested in lights and wants to use them more, just ride your favorite trail at night.
Last night, a bunch of us hit the Don at about 8pm. I've been on that trail hundred's of times but last night was the first at night. Fun. Will be doing it again.
