A reminder to get signed up to race or volunteer for the Kona Kup @ Beban and Pony Cross @ Arbutus Meadows this weekend.  Everyone who is anyone will be there, so be there. ------------------

Nanaimo is hosting a double header as a part of the Cross on the Rock Series this November 7th and 8th. This is a huge opportunity for the community to show itself off and host a couple of top shelf events. As I said before, we need the MIVA Army to come together on this weekend and HIT IT HARD. Volunteers will be needed for BOTH events to pull this off. In the middle of these events there will be a Cx Party at Oak Bay Bikes shop on Saturday night!

Saturday November 7th Oak Bay Bikes hosts the Kona Kup @ Beban Park. Volunteers will be needed please email oakbaybikesnanaimo@gmail.com asap! Race Reg Link!

Saturday Night Cx party @ Oak Bay Bikes! Snacks, bevvies, and a keg. That’s all that needs to be said.  See you there.

Sunday November 8th MIVA hosts My Little Pony Cross @ Arbutus Meadows. Please email Ron @ hewitsonron@gmail.com to let him know you can help!  Race link here!

It’s always the same group who ride both races (we’re all on the same team here), so your support is appreciated in course set up at Beban, race day support, Beban course take down, Arbutus set up, Pony race day support, Pony set up, etc.

SEE YOU FOR A HUGE AWESOME WEEKEND

This THURSDAY don't miss another exclusive MIVA night at the SWET HAUS!

SEE YOU FOR A HUGE AWESOME WEEKEND!

Much of what MIVA does would not be possible without our generous sponsors, many of whom continue to support the club year after year. Over the years MIVA has seen more and more interest from sponsors, from logo's on the jersey to naming rights, to anonymous donations. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your support, as it enables us to hold over 30 events, provide our members with discounts/giveaways, and many other benefits. Please support MIVA's sponsors as they are local shops, regular people like you and I, who are donating time and money to bike racing in the Nanaimo area. Before you order something online, remember where your dollar goes to. Give your local shops the chance to give a deal at the very least.  Reward exemplary customer service when you get it.

MIVA is getting an early start on sponsorship for the 2016 season as we want to get things set up as early as possible and get gear out there by early March. If you would like to sponsor MIVA please contact us at Miva.President@gmail.com.  The commitment deadline is December 1st, but financials aren't required until the end of January 2016. For any information please email.

The MIVA board of directors will review all proposals.

Thank you once again to all of our great sponsors in 2015! (in no particular order)
