MIVA Wednesday Night Rides

April 13, 2016 to September 21, 2016, the MIVA Intermediate/Advanced

Wednesday evening ride rolls out of the parking lot at Rock City Cycles (3700 Island

Highway, Nanaimo, BC) at 6pm sharp.

 

Duration: 2-3 hours. Pace is moderate to fast

24-33km/hr) over hilly terrain.

 

A and B options are available with groups meeting

at the top of climbs. This ride typically follows the same route:

http://www.strava.com/routes/2045033 however, we are occasionally hijacked by

aliens whose idea of a good time involves traversing alternative routes to the same

destination. Rides are open to everyone and safety is paramount, so we ask that all

participants be proficient in group ride technique and etiquette before joining the

rides. We also ask that all riders wear a helmet, obey traffic laws and come equipped

with a repair kit including spare tube(s) and pump. Participants must be members

of MIVA and Cycling BC.

 

This year we are pleased to announce that MIVA will be contributing $1 for each

participant of our weekly group rides to Bicycles for Humanity, a global grassroots

movement that provides the gift of mobility delivered by a bicycle to many in

developing countries. To find out more about this worthy cause go to:
