Van Isle University is offering Introduction to Competition courses in March. Information here.

The 2011 MIVA events schedule is now available. Check the Racing Schedule page on the menu at top of page. This year we have a fuller schedule, with weekly criteriums, including three weekend events in April, a full time trial calendar, including a circuit of Gabriola Island, and a BC Masters' Cycling Association stage race in late May where all of the club's thirty-and-over riders may compete.

Check the membership section for a club waiver and membership form.

We have wanted to run a time trial around Gabriola Island for some years. Finally, the opportunity has come up as Sylvie  Milman, one of the local cyclists, who organises regular weekend rides on Gabriola has volunteered to coordinate a round the Island time trial on the evening of June 23rd. As this is only two days after the summer solstice, there will be plenty of light. for the more leisurely riders. We are ironing out the logistics and will let all potential competitors know the schedule for this exciting event once everything is in place.

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.
