P2A - Paris to Ancaster Bike Race 60K

The Paris to Ancestor bike race is over paved roads, dirt roads and single track trails.

It is a serious mud bowl.
The event is well organized very fun.

2000 Bikers showed up to try their luck against the course.
P2A Race Start

It was an exciting start to the race with the riders broken into 3 waves.

I was in the third wave therefore hitting the mud section after 1000 riders chewed up the course nicely was ugly.

At one point my bike would not move forward because of the mud.

My wheels would not spin...  I could not pick up the biked because to was too heavily packed with mud.

I dragged the bike out of the mud and finished the 60K in 3 hours.

Even at 50 years old playing in the mud is a blast.
