April 29/18 15:34 pm - Holmgren & Jackson Win 2018 Paris to Ancaster


Posted by Editoress on 04/29/18
 

The 25th edition of the Paris to Ancaster cyclo-sportif saw approximately 3000 riders take to the trails and roads in southern Ontario for this now traditional season-opener.  Riders had sunshine, but faced cold and gusty crosswinds for much of the 73 kilometre route, which winds through the countryside from Paris to finish with a steep 17% climb into Ancaster.
