MIVA Boxwood Criterium 13/08/27 30 lap criterium

As Iain Hay and son Brodie were setting up the course for tonight's race, ominous clouds were gathering and the first drops of rain were heralding the advance of a steady downpour. Still, there were ten stalwart souls who were going to ride, whatever the weather. It was decided to cut the event to thirty laps and to dispense with the primes as a safety measure and at 6.35pm, the pack, including youth riders Abigail and Aiden Hare set off.

The first couple of laps were neutralised to allow Aiden and Abigail the opportunity of riding in the group for a while and then the race proper started, with Iain Hay already five seconds up on the rest of the bunch, taking advantage of his wet weather skills. Abigail was still managing to hang onto the back end of the seniors, with Aiden already several lengths back and by lap four, both had lost contact and continued with their own contest.

Iain was soon back in the pack since no-one else was prepared to join him and for the balance of the race everyone stayed together. The final sprint was predictable and the top for places from two weeks ago were repeated, with Justin mark out sprinting Hay for the win with Nick Kupiak third and Mike Sevcov rounding out the top four. Justin's win put him just two points ahead of Nick in the series standings but, with two events left, Kupiak still has a chance to take overall honours.

In the youth event, Abigail Hare showed her improved speed by lapping her brother just before the finish to tie up the women's youth contest.

Thanks to MLA Doug Routley, a MIVA member, Glen Gordon and Brodie Hay for doing a great if soggy stint as marshals and to Jason Hare for a photographic record.

With the series close to wrapping down, here are the updated results. A bit of a shakeup on the Senior Men's podium with Justin Mark storming the last two races and moving up from 8th to 3rd overall. With three more races on the schedule, it's statistically still possible for Justin, Nick or Ray to join Ian with 60 points. Where this could get interested is that any ties will be broken by examining the riders' head-to-head scores (i.e.: total points for races in which both riders competed).

MIVA 20/40 40KM TIME TRIAL 130604

Nanaimo River Road

Thursday evening, near perfect conditions greeted the participants yet again, with a good breeze blowing towards the turn and easing off when about half the riders were on their second lap of the out and back course.

Ten showed up for this final forty kilometre race of the season. Just one fifteen km and a series of hill climbs will round off the road season, and a series of cyclo-cross clinics from mid September to early October should prepare our members for the popular Cross on The Rock CX series.

Steed Cycles visitor, Justin Mark was fastest over the 40km distance with a short one hour and three minute ride, with HCTC rider Reagan Lovig about one and a half minutes behind. Several of the starters produced personal best rides including third placed Phil Birrer, Patrick Burnham on his fixie, Lorrie Baildham, and Mike Gill on his new Trek Madone.

The lone rider in the twenty kilometre event was eight year-old Ian Gillmore who also recorded a personal best with a fifty-two minute effort. Father Don, MIVA's fast man also started but eased up before the end of the first lap, still suffering the after-effects of his crash three weeks ago. Hopefully, he'll be feeling better next week when he is scheduled to conduct a turning clinic to help participants knock some time off their “race of truth” efforts.

Thanks to Glen and Jennifer Gordon who marshaled the far turn. Jennifer has ridden in a number of time trials and MIVA's Monday rides this season on a heavy commuter bike and Glen is looking to buy her a decent road bike.
