No major shakeups to the top of the standings, but we do have Chris Cameron (MIVA) and Derek Jonson (MIVA) both clawing their way up in the rankings. Nick Kupiak (Broad Street Cycles), Janna Gillick (Team ATAC) and Ayden Houle (MIVA) are still leading their respective categories. Big thank you to the volunteers who stepped in at the last minute to marshal the corners. These events can't happen without volunteers so please consider taking a night off and lending a hand.
This is a reminder that Robin of Coal City Cycles will be leading another Flat repair session at 5:15 in the NIC parking lot. Our regular Developmental ride will follow at 6pm. Many of you are wanting to learn how to use your CO2 inflator quizmo and we are encouraging you to do so. Therefore Robin will bring some extra CO2 cartridges in case you need to purchase another one.
See all you keen riders on Monday!
MIVA has a team on the Bike to Work Week site so sign up for our team and log your kms.Besides it's just healthy to do so. https://www.biketowork.ca/nanaimo
As usual, riders will line up at 7PM at Boxwood Road in Nanaimo. Sign-on is at 6:30PM at the entrance to Longwood Brewery. Nick Kupiak (Broad Street Cycles) is crushing it with James Sage (MIVA) hot on his heels. Last week's race saw Mike Sevcov (Cycle Therapy) starting to close the gap on John Lam (MIVA). Lee Zavarise (MIVA) has been steadily hanging in there and has now moved into fifth position. Neil Bryant (Cycle Therapy) has been using his explosive sprint to power himself into sixth position.
We are looking forward to another fun and informative ride tomorrow. With so many people coming out each week we have been able to offer three different speed groups. All groups follow a NO Drop mandate and most often some technique is discussed and practiced. Hope to see lots of you out tomorrow!Next week we will have another "Change a flat" session starting at 5:15 with Robin from Coal City Cycles teaching us his tricks and tips.
