For an event the size of the P2A we don't get all that much lost stuff. Most of our lost and found stayed at the Ancaster Community Center and if you lost something you are able to pick it up there. However we have one big item that we would like to reconnect with the owner. It is a bag with shoes, a jacket, and a few other items but probably most importantly a set of keys to a TESLA in the pocket. It also has a receipt for a pair of gloves so feel free to describe it all and if you can identify the bike store where you bought the gloves, you can have the rest….

WHAT A DAY AT THE P2A!
Did race day ever turn out to be awesome. It was hard to believe that a week ago snow was expected. An overnight sprinkle of rain gave way to brilliant skies and fantastic course conditions.
And the racing - simply spectacular. Congratulations to Peter Disera and Jenn Jackson for hard fought wins. Congratulations to all who participated and helped to make this one of the most memorable P2A's ever.
Special thanks to all of sponsors and volunteers. We couldn't do the event without you. Extra special thanks to all of our land owners who have been so kind to permit us to race on their property. It is most appreciated and helps to make the P2A what it is.
We hope to see you next year!!

P2A Partners with National Cyclo-Cross Team
Paris to Ancaster is proud to announce a new partnership with the Canadian National Cyclo-Cross team for the next five years, in an effort to better promote and support Cyclo-Cross in Canada.
This five-year financial commitment from P2A will directly help the National Team program by offsetting the costs associated with providing mechanical and coaching support to national team athletes while at international competitions. P2A Race Director Tim Farrar says, “In a sense, P2A is simply doubling down on a year’s long commitment to provide what support we can. The National Cyclocross team athletes and staff can count on us for the next 5 seasons…at least”.
Athletes and staff of the National team have often become P2A’s biggest supporters and unofficial ambassadors for the race, raising the international profile of the event. P2A and the CX National Team already have a ‘Win, Win’ partnership, says Tim Farrar. Cycling Canada officials hope that this increased level of partnership will allow them to better promote the Canadian spring classic abroad and will help continue to grow the level of support they offer our National team athletes.
Kris Westwood, Head of Performance Operations at Cycling Canada, says, “This is really exciting as it’s the first time we’ve had a sponsor step in to help one of our non-Olympic disciplines. Cyclo-cross is a fun and safe yet challenging introduction to cycling for many athletes that has high performance targets in its own right; many of our current track, mountain bike and road national team members had their first world championships experience in cross. And of course, the success of the Paris to Ancaster Bike Race is testimony to how popular this branch of cycling is in North America.”
