MIVA 15km Time Trial

Nanaimo River Road

 

A pleasant evening, with moderate temperature and no wind, saw fifteen riders participate in the first fifteen kilometre event of the month. The club executive has been encouraging everyone to purchase and wear the MIVA kit and no less than eleven of tonight's starters were clad in same. There was good representation from all categories. Four youth riders, the youngest, Ian Gillmore, being eight years old participated. Oldest rider in the field was seventy year old Derek Steel.

 

Fast man Don Gillmore handily won the men's category, posting twenty and a half minutes, his fastest time at the distance since 2010, while Rhona Lettau, making a welcome return to the MIVA t.t. series, was top woman with a short twenty-six minute effort . The youth group winner was Mykelti Berg, who covered the distance in twenty-nine minutes and change.

 

Other notable performances were: Patrick Burnham, doing a sub twenty-four minute ride on his fixed wheel and Derek Steel doing a personal best with a short twenty-six minute ride.

 

The weekly draw for MIVA socks was won by Mike Mann. Thanks to Lorrie Baildham and Anita Gillmore for volunteering.
