Due to the high forecasted temperatures, we will have C& B groups (20-22 & 23-25 km/h average moving speeds) starting the ride tomorrow at 8:00am. A riders (26+km/h may still wish to start at 9:00 as they will be done more quickly anyway.

Spring GoByBike Week is taking place May 31- Jun 6 2025, and it’s not just for commuting, it’s for every ride, for every reason including recreation. GoByBikeBC’s vision is “A future where everyone has the opportunity to experience the joy of cycling for work, for play, for well-being, for the planet.”
If you aren’t already part of a GoByBike team, consider joining the MIVA team. You can manually log your rides or integrate your strava account. If you’ve signed up in previous years, just log into your account to register, and log at least one ride that week to be eligible for prizes.
Last year during Spring GoByBike week the MIVA team had 11 active riders logging 44 rides over 1776 km. Let’s see how many kilometers we can log this year!
