2013 MIVA Time Trial - Location Notice

It's obvious there's a deep divide between course preferences for the Nanaimo River Road TT, it's great that the Nanaimo cycling community is passionate about this topic.  

I've spoken extensively with Public Works at the City of Nanaimo the past few days, and while the good news is S Forks Road will be paved next week (great news for cycling all around!), there is more construction on the way to Nanaimo River Road.

At about this location ( http://goo.gl/maps/oxpjh ) there is going to be construction from August 1st lasting for up to 6 weeks. This lies in the original TT course, but not within the new TT course.

The choice is obvious that the 2013 MIVA Time Trial Series will stay on the temporary course for the rest of this season. We'll be then re-visiting this topic after the season, engaging our expanding membership into what course of action should be taken.  There is a number of criteria we all have to consider between the 2 courses: safety, history, tradition, parking, and accessibility (how many now BIKE to the race rather than drive).

The 2013 season has been great already let's keep it rolling everyone!
