Spring Challenge 50k/100k - Tomorrow @ White Sails Brewing!

One final follow up before tomorrows ride! 1: Registration: Online at Webscorer , or if you're like most and want to wait until the last minute, day of registration and cash is fine as well. Don't need cycling BC or to be a MIVA member. $10 per person.

2: Start and finish is at White Sails Brewing. The goal is for everyone to FINISH at noon together. Start your ride accordingly at check in.

3: Corey will be at check in out front of White Sails from just before 8am.

4: Parking - behind White Sails there is a small lot under construction (but not on Saturday). 100k'ers should park here as the Maffeo Sutton parking is 3 hours max. Maffeo will be fine for the 50k group.

5: Routes: We're going mostly paperless here, so if you wish to print the route off at home prior please do. The 50k route is here, the 100k route is here. When you open the route in your Strava app you should first Favourite it by hitting the star, then hit 'use this route' for guidance. Again it is an unmarked course so bring along the directions if you wish to be sure.

6: Not a race. Read this again.

7: One more time, not a race. This is a fun group ride to meet like minded people and have a social beverage at a quality brewery afterwards.

8: I will have all the extra MIVA gear at the registration if you are interested bring cash or cheque for this. Water bottles, socks, knee warmers, winter cycling hats, cycling caps, etc.

Last but not least, MIVA sponsor White Sails Brewing is really stepping forward to support this event (and the club overall this year), so be sure to come inside post ride for some post ride socials and be eligible for awesome draw prizes. White Sails has also let it slip that everyone who partakes in the social will go home with something. On top of that Superstore has committed to providing platters of appys that we will have available for all.

Thanks for your support!

27 riders at the Monday Night ride!

What a great group of keen riders came out tonight. Some returning faces and many new ones. We split into 2 groups, one a bit faster than the other. Next week I anticipate 3 groups which means that we really can accommodate different speeds and abilities. Don't hesitate next week, come out and try the ride!We are constantly giving pointers and advice throughout the ride so if you are looking to learn some skills and techniques this is the ride for you. We rode 20km tonight and will probably increase that slowly each week for a little while. Look forward to seeing you all again next week and maybe some new members too. Please be sure to: 1. Join MIVA. 2. Get a "General Membership" at least from Cycling BC. OR you can try two rides first but must print and sign a waiver before riding.12986294_10156896803125165_237504073_o
