After examining a video of last night's Boxwood Criterium finish, taken with a Contourroam camera, the results have been modified. Mark Wieler moves up to 5th., Paul Thompson stays at 6th. and Charles Hamer moves to 7th.  Andrea Hunter took a shot of the finish with her new I Pad. The pictures were really clear except that the slow shutter speed blurred the riders almost beyond recognition. For future events, the Contourroam will be used for finish verification.

MIVA BOXWOOD CRITERIUM, MAY 8TH. 2012 wind – a lot, barometric pressure – yes, sun – some.

Best turnout so far this season. Eleven at the start including nine seniors, one youth and one woman. The start was faster than usual and Brodie Hay and Glenda Harling were soon dropped but carried on at their own pace, joining in with the fast-moving bunch each time they were lapped. The first and second primes were both won by Ian Smith who also took first place from Iain Hay, Sean Lunny and Mike Sevcov. 24 laps in 43'56” average speed – 36.05kph

Thanks to Ed Henderson, Kristy Mighton, Iain Hay and Brodie Hay for help with registration, set-up and lap board (new).

MIVA is organising this great event but  success depends to a great extent on having enough volunteers to help with course set-up, traffic direction, protocol, and pedestrian access to the inside of the circuit. The race is only six weeks away, on June 17th. but  the club is having difficulty finding enough available people to help with all these tasks. If you haven't been a part of an event like the Cobblestone Classic, please consider helping MIVA. All volunteers will begien any necessary training and on the day will  be fed and watered.

Contact the club at info@bikeracing.ca if you are able to be part of the race team.

The practical component of the NCCP Cycling Instructor course was held at Rutherford School on Sunday, Although most of the participants were from Campbell River and had a mountain biking background, the road side was represented by MIVA members Cheryl Morch and Peter McCaffery. After classroom sessions on sports ethics and course components, given by Conan Cooper, ably assisted by Cycling BC Youth programme coordinator Colin Campbell, the group moved out to the school field where they were put through a typical class to give them an on- hands idea of course set-up and procedure. After completing some on-line assignments the participants will be fully qualified as cycling instructors and will be able to conduct courses with school and community groups. Thanks to Cycling BC for providing funding.
