The start time error on the calendar has been corrected. Please see the event description for a map to the start location.

Remember, for the criterium and time trial series competitions, ONLY those  who have ridden at least five events in either series will be able to qualify for the contest(s). There are still three events in either series so come out and work on your five events.

Party might be an overstatement, but for anyone who chooses to follow me home (on their bike!) after the Departure Bay hill climb event on Thursday - there might be beverages on our deck that evening. Yay hill climbing. (We're ~1km from the start of the climb) -Janna

Summer is fading, so I think we need to start our rides a little earlier. This week, it's a 6pm start from NAC.

Two of the MIVA riders did well this week. First, at the Organic Athlete Omnium at the Juan de Fuca velodrome in Victoria, Cadet rider Brodie Hay came third overall in the C category. He completed the two day event by winning the scratch race. At the BC Masters CA Cowichan Lake Road Race on Saturday, Ian Smith won his category and came second overall to winner Derek Tripp.

Congratulations to both.
