Mid Island Velo Association is offering a season pass this year. The pass will enable the holder to enteer all 42 of the club events during the season. Cost for this pass is $80, a saving of $130 over the regular club price for entering all events! Please note that only members are eligible to buy the pass. Passes will be available at all events until the end of June.

Tony Winter, one of MIVA's valued executive committee members, is leaving us to take up new employment in Victoria. The club will still have Tony as it's web master but we need a replacement for him on our board and will be interviewing candidates over the next couple of weeks.

If you are interested in being a part of MIVA's growth and development,  have a couple of hours a week to spare and would like to work with a dedicated group of cyclists, please email us for more information.

Many of the participants in the MIVA weekly time trials will be in their 50's and 60's. Here is a story about a septuagenarian from Ontario. Ted Webb of the Brampton CC in Ontario,  has been riding competitively for well over half a century and is constantly pushing the envelope re. his performances. He should be an inspiration to all of us "oldies" !

Here is a hilarious video commentary on Bike lanes in Vancouver. Thanks to Threshold for posting the original.

MIVA now has a Facebook presence, thanks to Doug Merrick of the Comox CC. You can use this to advertise group rides, meeting places etc. and to vent about any concerns you may have about mid island cycling in general. Go here.
