Paris Ontario, April 28th 2024

L-R: Tim and his son James, Maureen, Can… all looking a little mucky but smiling after the race. We also have and Jonaton & Dave in the GEARS Bike Shop support vehicle.

The Gravel season kicked off with the spring classic Paris to Ancaster in typically rainy and muddy fashion. We had another year of the pups supporting this event in large numbers with riders across a wide range of categories including two multi-generational pairs: Tim Griffin and his son James… and Chris Robinson racing with his daughter Cassidy (who came in 1st in the F19-34 category racing with Milton CC - she is also an LDCC member)

Highlights include Karen Duff blazing the 100km field to place 1st in her category, with Maureen Wolfson placing 4th. Andrew Fieder placed 3rd in his category and 6th overall in the 45 km race, while James Griffin came in with an impressive 81st Overall Male in the 100km Cento.
