Sad News

We have some sad news to share. This Sunday July 14 Peter McCaffery passed away after a very spirited battle with cancer. Peter was the founder and president of MIVA from 2009-2014. MIVA's roots grew out of the OBB Wheelers, and the Mid Island region's rich cycling presence. For many years as president and later director, Peter McCaffery worked tirelessly to bring MIVA to where it is today. Peter's efforts have not only encouraged many people to get out and ride, but also inspired others to personal bests. All summer long, for 20 consecutive weeks Peter volunteered his time by driving out to the time trial course, setting it up, taking registration, timing everyone, posting results, and then doing it all again at the criterium a few days later. The amount of time and effort Peter selflessly put into MIVA and the cycling community is astounding. Peter enjoyed riding up and remains an inspiration to us all. Ride on Peter, ride on.
