NEW CRITERIUM CIRCUIT

Next year, the Boxwood circuit used for the MIVA criteriums will almost certainly be too busy for the club to obtain a permit, so the club B.O.D has been discussing possible replacement courses for the future. A couple of the MIVA executive have recently spec.'d out a new criterium circuit. It's quite short (600 meters) but it's beautifully paved, on private land, and completely closed so there are NO CONES!. In the next couple of weeks there is a possibility of putting a couple of the MIVA Tuesday events there.  The location will be announced once permission has been obtained from the owner for its use and insurance arranged. The club is also negotiating with the city of Nanaimo for asphalting of some gravel trail sections in Beban Park to complete a paved  one kilometer circuit. This would be a multi use course for cycling, running, wheelchairsports, Segways, in-line skating etc. so the city is looking seriously at the club's proposal.
