That time of year is nearing where we test our legs with the Spring Challenge: Saturday April 22! As usual, there is a 50km and 100km route to choose from starting and finishing at Maffeo Sutton Park in Nanaimo, BC.

Sign up is available day of between 7:30am and 8am and must be a MIVA member with a valid Cycling BC license to ride. Sign in is on webscorer: https://www.webscorer.com/register?raceid=310151

Riders can choose to start at the suggested start times and group up with others starting at the same time, or alternately can choose to start earlier or later depending on their preference. It's not a very formal ride, just come on out, and afterwards folks can choose to head over to White Sails (which does have indoor bike parking) to socialize.

We encourage everyone to have a copy of the route on them, and judging by the forecast, dress for the weather!

Addendum:
Traditionally the Spring Challenge goes ahead regardless of weather. With rain in the forecast participants might be limited to a few hardy fender clad warriors, so do come prepared to be self sufficient.

For those who brave the elements tomorrow post your stories and pictures under Discord’s spring-challenge to get all the glory!
