The supplier, Kallisto sports, has started work on our new clothing. Delivery is slated for third week in March. Our initial order includes sizes for all. Thanks to our sponsors: Cameron Law, Northwest Bay Massage and therapy, Glaros, Oak Bay Bikes, and Frontrunners for enabling us to put in a sizable order.We look forward to seeing all those good-looking jerseys and shorts at this seasons events.

Most of you will remember the tragedy of Tom Simpson dying onMont Ventoux.Here is a BBC video on Tom Simpson that leads up
to that fateful ride.

There has been a great response to our new clothing line and many of the local riders have ordered jerseys and shorts. A few have even ordered the excellent winter jackets. Now that MIVA is registered as a society and we have Cycling BC affiliation in the works, our insurance will soon be in place so we are actively soliciting membership in the Mid Island Velo Association.  All new members get insurance coverage while competing in our events and recreational rides. Memberships are ridiculously cheap at $15 for individuals, $30 for families and a discount for youth riders so download the application form and waiver from our membership page and send or take completed forms to oak Bay Bikes or our club address.

Webmaster Tony Winter has been burning the midnight oil to revamp  the club web site.  The new look includes a number of improvements and more will be added shortly.
