The regular Tuesday criterium on the Boxwood circuit will go as usual - rain or shine. The Shaw TV crew will now be coming at a later date.
The new club clothing will be on display and for purchase.
As the Nanaimo Cobblestone Classic Criterium has been cancelled, due to lack of entries, there will be NO ROAD CLOSURES on June 17th.
The organising committee for the Cobblestone Classic has regretfully decided to cancel the event for this year. Up until Friday afternoon there had been only 20 entries! There is no doubt that there will not be the hundred needed to ensure the success of the race. Thanks to all the volunteers who were prepared to work at the race. Thanks are also due to Nanaimo City Engineering Department for a great deal of help with the circuit, Nanaimo City Parks and Recreation for a $3,000 grant (to be returned), the Downtown Nanaimo Business Improvement Association, for it's help with communications and poster distribution, MLA Doug Routley for arranging the ambulance and paramedics. Most of all, the hard work of the organising committee members re. poster design, budgeting, and the fortitude to undertake this ambitious project. Next year, MIVA will have plenty of time to get good date selection and to combine the Cobblestone Classic with an existing cycling festival.

Rain throughout the day indicated that there would be am small field for tonight's 40km 3 person team time trial. Since none of those who showed up were already in teams and since there was the threat of still more rain, it was decided to do a 20km ITT. First off was Kristy Lee Mighton, in only her second time trial. At the turn she was on a good pace but unfortunately she flatted with just over 3 kilometers to go. She was fortunate to get a lift back to her vehicle as the lack of a spare tube would have meant a long walk in cleats.
Rhona Lettau was next off and rode a very uneventful race to finish in exactly 37 minutes. She was followed by Patrick Burnham on his fixed wheel who beat his previous best 20km time
