The organising committee for the Cobblestone Classic has regretfully decided to cancel the event for this year. Up until Friday afternoon there had been only 20 entries! There is no doubt that there will not be the hundred needed to ensure the success of the race. Thanks to all the volunteers who were prepared to work at the race. Thanks are also due to Nanaimo City Engineering Department for a great deal of help with the circuit, Nanaimo City Parks and Recreation for a $3,000 grant (to be returned), the Downtown Nanaimo Business Improvement Association, for it's help with communications and poster distribution, MLA Doug Routley for arranging the ambulance and paramedics. Most of all, the hard work of the organising committee members re. poster design, budgeting, and the fortitude to undertake this ambitious project. Next year, MIVA will have plenty of time to get good date selection and to combine the Cobblestone Classic with an existing cycling festival.
Rain throughout the day indicated that there would be am small field for tonight's 40km 3 person team time trial. Since none of those who showed up were already in teams and since there was the threat of still more rain, it was decided to do a 20km ITT. First off was Kristy Lee Mighton, in only her second time trial. At the turn she was on a good pace but unfortunately she flatted with just over 3 kilometers to go. She was fortunate to get a lift back to her vehicle as the lack of a spare tube would have meant a long walk in cleats.
Rhona Lettau was next off and rode a very uneventful race to finish in exactly 37 minutes. She was followed by Patrick Burnham on his fixed wheel who beat his previous best 20km time
There are three days left for the early bird entries for Nanaimo's first top level bicycle race in nearly twenty-five years, so if you want to save $10, enter before midnight on May 31st. When the MIVA race committee first started planning for the event, it was agreed that there would have to be sufficient entries to make the race viable and to justify the considerable time and expense that had gone into the preparation. MIVA has publicised the Cobblestone Classic through the cycling media and via the provincial cycling associations and clubs, so most of the western Canadian provincial racing cyclists and all those on Vancouver Island have been aware of the event date and details for some time. There are paid radio, TV and newspaper advertising campaigns planned for June to help generate a crowd but these are on hold at the moment. Remember that, in the event that the event is a no go, all entries fees will be returned in full. The drop dead date for the Cobblestone Classic is June 10th. If there are less than one hundred entries by this date, The club will consider cancelling the race . Any grants and sponsorship monies received will be returned
The organiser of the Nanaimo Cobblestone Classic Criterium has a long history of putting on cycling competitions of all kinds, from local to national and this is the first time in over fifty years that one of his events may have to be cancelled. If any of you riders are still thinking about entering the race, DO IT NOW! Mid Island Velo Association has very rapidly gained a reputation for hosting well-organised bike races of all kinds in the Nanaimo region and it would be a great shame to lose this opportunity to showcase our sport to the public in Nanaimo.
