Due to the increasing size of the criterium field, the MIVA B.O.D. has decided that the Arbutus Meadows Circuit presents a real safety hazard, even if the women and youth categories ride a separate event. Therefore, until further notice, all Tuesday criteriums will be held on the popular Boxwood circuit which has a great safety record. Here is the revised schedule. MIVA 2014 REVISED CRITERIUM SERIES DATE VENUE DISTANCE LAPS TYPE TIME 05 13 BOXWOOD 26 45 points 1900 * 05 20 BOXWOOD 40 36 scratch 1900 05 27 BOXWOOD 40 36 scratch 1900 06 03 BOXWOOD 32.5 50 points 1900 * 06 10 BOXWOOD 37 45 scratch 1900 06 17 BOXWOOD 45 35 scratch 1900 06 25 BOXWOOD 42 38 points 1900 * 07 08 BOXWOOD 42 38 scratch 1900 07 15 BOXWOOD 44 40 scratch 1900 07 22 BOXWOOD 45 35 scratch 1900 * 07 29 BOXWOOD 44 40 points 1900 08 05 BOXWOOD 39 65 points 1900 08 12 BOXWOOD 45 41 scratch 1900 * 08 19 BOXWOOD 45 41 scratch 1900 08 26 BOXWOOD 32.5 50 points 1900 09 02 BOXWOOD 40 36 scratch 1900 * 09 09 BOXWOOD 40 36 points 1830 09 16 BOXWOOD 35 32 scratch 1830

BOXWOOD 1.1km circuit to west of Bowen

If there are sufficient under 17 yr. Old riders, there will be a youth event at 6.30pm. On days marked *, there will be a points criterium As more women participate, there may be an event for them concurrent with the youth race. Women who wish to, may ride in the men's event. NB: Registration opens 30 minutes 30' before the event and closes 5 minutes before start.

Here are the results for this week's Boxwood Criterium on the popular Boxwood Circuit. Twenty-eight starters tonight - a new record. With these numbers showing, we will not be using the Arbutus Meadows course as there is a safety concern. Therefore next week's race will be at Boxwood.

Outsider Adventures of Qualicum Beach is offering an incentive to reward anyone who volunteers for the crits. They willl kick in an hour's kayak rental for 2 people from Outsider Adventures. The offer stands throughout the season. Details to follow. This is a fabulous offer from owner Michael Addiscott and will doubtless see our events swamped with offers of help.

Thanks Michael

On the first of May, it is time trial day. Now's the time to show your stuff, in a tough tough way ...(with apologies to Mel Torme). Great weather, some great times including Don Gillmore almost breaking his 15km course record and Janna Gillick setting a new women's mark plus a real ding dong battle in both youth categories!
