WELCOME TO OUR NEW SPONSOR - CAT5GEAR
We are pleased to welcome Cat5Gear to our incredible sponsor list. Cat5Gear, based in Ancaster, produces high quality cycling accessories. The Cat5Gear Cyclist Case is the "Official gear bag of the 2015 P2A". The Cyclist Case (check it out - CLICK), their signature product, is going to be part of the swag for the P2A VIP category. This amazing case will take all of your kit and keep it organized. Our custom P2A version of the Cyclist Case retails for $85. Just think of this - standard entry fee + bus + Cat5Gear Cyclist Case + post race beer = way more than the $202 VIP entry. We are also pleased to have our gear trucks, now the "Cat5Gear Bag trucks" sponsored by them. Check out their full line at
Cat5Gear.
MIKE GARRIGAN COACHING
Mike will be offering personal P2A coaching programs for 3, 2 or 1 month(s), starting immediately after the CX Worlds on Feb. 1st. What better way to prepare for p2a than with coaching from a 3 time P2A winner, reigning National Champ and former Ontario Team Coach? Please email info@parisancaster.com if you are interested in more details.

NEW 20K FAMILY RIDE
The newest version of Canada’s Spring Classic is designed for families, beginners and anyone looking for a shorter, less grueling version of P2A. You get all the fun of the original route with a variety of paved and unpaved roads, rail trails and closed road allowances. It will bypass the infamous mud chutes of the P2A40 and P2A70, but share the same final challenging climb of Martins Rd to the finish. This ride is best suited to mountain and hybrid bikes. The start and finish is at the Ancaster Community Centre. The mass start ride will be self timed with finishers awards, draw prizes, a post race meal and entertainment for everyone. CLICK to register.
MIKE GARRIGAN CX VIDEO
Multi-time Paris To Ancaster winner, and now the 2014 CDN National CX Champ, is featured in a video on Cyclocross Magazine. It has some good footage of the Nationals which took place on October 25 in Winnipeg. It is well worth a look.
