A number of riders travelled to the mainland last weekend to ride in the Axel Merckx Gran Fondo. In the 160km Gran Fondo, Katie Condon: 8^th in her age group, 592^nd overall, Lorri Baildham: was 6^th in her age group, 311^th overall, Al Shirley was 80^th in his age group, 510^th overall and Cheryl Morch was  4^th in her age group, 224^th overall. In the 90km Medio Fondo, ,Bryan Rehill did a fantastic ride to come 2^nd overall in  after pre-riding the Ironman course the day before!

Congratulations to all for representing MIVA.

As indicated on the MIVA schedule, there will be no criterium or time trial this week. Of course, those who are so inclined can ride up to Nanaimo River Road on Thursday evening and do their own time trial. The Cedar Wednesday training ride will go as usual, as will the Monday club ride, this week from the North Cedar Intermediate School on Gould Road.

In case you missed the update under the "events" section, the group ride on Monday night will start at North Cedar Intermediate School at 2215 Gould Rd W - http://goo.gl/maps/aElh Hopefully this will give us some flatter road to try some pacelines. Last week was a lot of fun!

Next Tuesday, July 17th. from 6pm on, SHAW cable is airing a half hour video of the Boxwood criterium from last Tuesday. The programme will repeat later that night and at the weekend. Then It will go onto You tube. This is a real coup for MIVA and will kick off our publicity for the Youth Development programme and our other activities.
