Due to circumstances beyond our control, the MIVA youth omnium scheduled for August 10th-11th has been cancelled. We thank all those who showed an interest in participating in this exciting event and assure you that the club will work towards putting on a similar event next year.

50 laps points criterium with sprints every 5 laps.
Top three get 5, 3, 2 points. Double on 15th and final lap.
All categories started together. The top twelve riders stayed together through the first of 10 sprints, which was won by Ian Smith, from Menno Jongsma with Mark Wieler third . These twelve stayed intact through the second prime, won by Menno, with Rob Russell second and Jessica Reynolds, (lapped) third. Over the next fifteen laps, the weaker riders in the bunch were shed one by one until there were just four left: Ian, Menno, Rob and Ray, with Chris Cameron just ten seconds back in fifth.Soon afterwards, Rob Russell retired leaving thee lead trio taking time and laps out of most of the rest of the field Chris soldiered on, losing a little each lap but steadily catching the stragglers. The sixthe sprint at thirty laps was won by the classy Mr. Smith, with Ray in second and Nick Kupiak (lapped) taking third, the two points eventually giving him third place overall in front of the other riders at two laps down. Ian gave the ninth sprint to Ray and then easily left him to finish alone with over fifty points total and having completed the race in 47' 41” with Ray seventeen seconds down and Chris Cameron taking third a lap down.

MIVA Time Trial Course Question: Which course would you prefer is used for the 2013 season?
Background: The original course started at the intersection of White Rapids Road/Nanaimo River Road and headed west, and was used from 2008 (or earlier?) through last season. The temporary course for the past 6 races has been starting about 5km further west along Nanaimo River Road due to construction, slated to be completed in about 2 weeks. MIVA would appreciate your feedback and comments, thx!
