MIVA 15KM ITT APRIL 21ST, 2011

A chilly , but sunny evening saw 16 riders contest the first of MIVA's

2011 time trial series. We were flattered when noted triathlete,

Emile de Rosnay and Peter Stevenson came up from Victoria,

placing first and second, and Charles Hamer rode from Parksville

(hope he got back before dark).

13 year old Brodie Hay, riding his first ever 15km on his new Kona,

did a creditable time for the distance and shows much promise for the

future.

In the women's category only 10 seconds separated the top two, with

Charlene Hay from Parksville just over a minute behind them.

5 new members joined up tonight, bringing MIVA's total membership

To 47 – not bad for a new club in a small town.

Thanks to Iain Hay for holding and to Benoit Detering for marshaling the turn.

Next week, the Tuesday criteriums start on the Boxwood circuit and

there will be a 20km time trial on Thursday. The following week we will

return to the regular schedule.
