Do you want to learn to ride safely in a group?

Do you want to learn some techniques to ride smoother and easier?

Do you want to meet some like-minded friendly people?

These are just a few of the reasons why you might want to come try out MIVA’s Monday night group ride (“Begin to group ride” "Development Ride").

This weekly group ride is offered in 3 different groups = 3 different speeds. This means there is a group just right for most people. It is important that you are competent on a bike but you do not need to be fast. We will maintain an average speed of 20-24 km/hr and we will not drop anyone - yes it is a “no drop” ride.

We will meet at the NIC (Nanaimo Ice Center) parking lot and roll out at 6:30 pm. You must be a member of MIVA and hold a CyclingBC license/membership, so please go to the membership page and sign up beforehand. OR you can try two MIVA events as long as you sign a waiver first, then decide if you want to join (nobody ever changes their mind:)

Our usual route is out and back on Jingle Pot road with a couple offshoots thrown in for fun (read hills). We will start out with a shorter ride of about 20km but will build that up as it suits the group. Pace lining will be instructed and practiced where it works best on this route.

These rides are lead by at least one experienced MIVA rider who is there to guide you and help you feel comfortable in the group as well as push you a bit when you may need it.

Meeting spot: NIC parking lot.

Come ride with us!

In 2019 our Monday night development rides are once again sponsored by House of Kiyo.
