Last week was really successful! More than a dozen riders came out on the ride from the Aquatic Centre which was led by Janna Gillick and Colleen Wtorek. Next Monday's ride starts at 6pm from Oak Bay Bikes. If you are not sure about group riding and are leery of rides that leave you grovelling in the gutter, then this is the ride for you. Be on time as the ride leaves promptly. By the way, like all MIVA activities, it goes rain or shine so if the weather is poor, bring along wet weather wear.

Plans for MIVA's showcase event on June 17th. are well-underway. On-line pre-registration is now up at https://reg.ccnbikes.com/index.php/event/nanaimo-cobblestone-classic

We  need about fifty volunteers, so if you can help out, please email info@bikeracing.ca. You will be provided with equipment and sustenance for the day plus a couple of training sessions re. your assignments.

The second club clothing order has been sent off to Kallistosport. Should be completed and sent in about four weeks. despite the constant pleas for prepaid orders, only one came in so the same quantity of jerseys, bib shorts and jackets were ordered as last time. remember, they were gone, gone  GONE in two days. Again, it will be first come, first served and no items will be reserved without payment. It's odd that in a club that now has fifty-four members(not bad for mid April, very few people order the clothing, knowing the high quality and great fit. members should be proud to wear the club colours and .... I won't get into that argument.
