On a very wet windy, and cold, cold evening, four riders completed the club's first time trial of the 2012 series. Two were returning riders and two were new to our events. The lone man, Ian Drown, did a creditable 29'03” in his first attempt at 15km. In the womens category, newcomer Katy Condon did a very good first 15km in just over 28 and a half minutes, having ridden out to the course beforehand.. Janna Gillick, starting last, overtook all the other starters and finally finished a great ride in 24 and three quarter minutes with Colleen Wtorek who was first off almost 5 minutes slower. It's heartening to see riders out on such an unpleasant evening and bodes well for the numbers later on in the season.

Only two days after the club received its first order of clothing, nearly all jerseys, bib shorts and jackets are gone.  All those who were disappointed should send in a prepaid order by this Friday as a second order will be sent in then. The MIVA clothing is high quality and beautiful fit. It  is an absolute bargain when compared with anything produced by the "designer" marques. Get those orders in pronto so you won't be disappointed again.

The MIVA members can  show the rest of the city a good example by committing to ride to work between May 28th. and June 3rd. Just take it easy so you don't get  hot and sweaty! Remember to be safety conscious while riding in the city as many will be watching your road manners. Wear club clothing if you have it to give a real presence to the club.
