White Sails Spring Challenge 50k/100k Recap

The threat of rain kept the majority of the riders waiting until the morning of the ride, and luckily the showers held off for the most part. Overall 45 cyclists took part in this mornings ride, with 26 people taking on the 100k and 19 people in the 50k route (thank you Patrick for creating them). It was great to see such a diverse group of cyclists take part in the event, with the highlight seeing 40+ lycra clad cyclists in one room sharing a beer and a few laughs.

Thanks to all the volunteers who helped to pull it together behind the scenes, and to Superstore for donating platters for post ride. The biggest thank you has to go to White Sails Brewing for stepping up like no other today. Co-owner (and MIVA member) Monty McKay, Brad, Teighlor, along with the staff worked hard to put together prizes and accommodate MIVA. Allowing MIVA to set up shop for 6 hours out front and inside, as well as letting 40 some bikes be parked right inside the brewery was amazing. They gave away 6 draw prizes, and on top of that a bomber of White Sails beer for every single rider at the social. If you haven't been there yet definitely check them out it's a great spot with tasty beers. This won't be the last MIVA event held here!
