A warm spring evening had a huge turnout of 21 riders come out for the debut of the 2013 MIVA Time Trial Series. The decision was made prior to the start to shorten the course to 11km from the planned 15km, in the name of safety. The intersection of Nanaimo River Road and South Forks Dam is one lane of alternating traffic for the next few weeks, and it was a smart decision to avoid this potential hazard.
Unfortunately a number of elements came into play and the results weren't posted immediately, we apologize for this. After some investigation into the software and files, as well as other sources, MIVA was able to come up with a results list for the 4.25 Time Trial. A couple of riders, Arthur Cantelon and Michael Gill, did not have times recorded even though they hammered through the TT course, if you have your approximate times from a bike computer please let us know and we'll add it.
With the results mixup in mind, MIVA decided that no points shall be awarded for this TT and that it will be treated as a warmup race. All who paid the race fee to Peter at registration will have this weeks time trial comp'd.
Congrats to all who came out and let's carry on the large turnouts for the rest of the season!

Note about the Thursday May 2 TT: The start time shifts to 7pm race start, 630pm registration. As well with the aforementioned construction in mind, the next few weeks will temporarily be moved to a new location. The start will be just west of the Nanaimo Lakes Road and South Forks Road intersection, and the course will venture into new (quieter) territory heading west for this weeks 20k TT. We hope to see you there!
