MIVA 100km and 50KM CHALLENGE

See if you can complete your chosen distance within your chosen time. On Sunday, March 24th. MIVA runs its first timed group rides. Both the 50 kilometre and hundred kilometre rides  start and finish at the Longwood Brew Pub, one of MIVA's sponsors. The fifty km goes up to Parksville Serious Coffee and back, for the most part avoiding the Island Highway. The hundred km continues past Parksville and continues through Errington and Coombs to turn back at Qualicum Beach,  and follow the Sunshine route to Parksville and on to the finish. 50km participants can choose to complete the ride in under two or three hours, while the 100km cyclists can choose to finish their ride in less than three, four or five hour, five or six hours. The start times are staggered so that all finishers should arrive between one and two in the afternoon. To ensure that all participants do the entire course, all are given route cards which should be filled in as they pass various check points.
