SIXTH ANNUAL NANAIMO HILL CLIMB CHAMPIONSHIP 131005

The weather was cool but clear on Saturday morning for the MIVA hill climb Championship. the sixth annual one to date. The first two were organised by Oak Bay Bikes CC, the predecessor to Mid Island Velo Association but the format has been the same throughout. Riders set off at intervals and the event is run as a road time trial.There were only eight starts, with Cheryl Morch and Sean De Pol being given an early start due to other priorities. Most of the remaining participants have supported the entire series this year, with the Hare trio of Dad, Jason, Abigail and Aiden being among the first to turn up. Other riders were Mark Wieler, Jim Brown and series leader Justin Mark. The two youth competitors were first off, followed by Jason , Jim , Mark and Justin. Start intervals were at 30 seconds to enable timekeeper Peter McCaffery to get to the finish before any of the cyclists. The club's Webscorer programme made this a simple task. As expected, Justin came into view first and then the remainder in reverse order (great seeding Mr. McC.!). Justin won the event with a time just 44 seconds off Paul Autons 12'00" record, set in 2011. Other notable performance was by Abigail Hare who established a female youth recoord..
