Starting Monday Jul 31 and for the remainder of the 2023 season, the Monday Night Developmental rides will start from the parking lot at Cavallotti Hall, 2060 E Wellington Rd, Nanaimo, BC due to construction planned in the area.

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 - yes it is a “no drop” ride.

This ride is 100% on the road so please bring an appropriate bike. A purpose designed road bike with drop handle bars is ideal, but a hybrid with smooth tires would be ok too. Most riders would struggle to keep up on a mountain bike with knobbly tires.

You must be a member of MIVA and hold a CyclingBC license/membership, so please follow this link to sign up before hand. 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:)

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.

Come ride with us!

Here’s an example of a typical route. We may cut this short or extend based on group abilities, or just to change things up!
