The MIVA 100km and 50km Challenges return for the second year on April 13th. For 2014, the event is sponsored by the Longwood Brew Pub and the strat and finish will be there. The routes this year are similar to 2013 but the last few kilometres will be less convoluted. We are also replacing most of the coded route signs with visits to cafes on the route. Full details of the route will be posted shortly so you can reconnoitre at your leisure. Entry fee will be $10 and start times will be from 8am on.
We do need volunteers to man registration and finish so any club members not planning to ride are asked to devote some time on challenge day to ensure the success of the event .
