WOW... MIVA/Arrowsmith Bikes debuted a 20K point to point  TT tonight, starting at the far end of Nanaimo River Road and racing east towards the Island Highway.  No turn arounds and mostly downhill so what's not to like.   The 13 riders came away with some smokin fast times  🚴 💨.     First place James Sage averaged 45.48 km/hr ... that's POWER!

James Sage                  26:23

It was a hot one last night at the MIVA/Rock City Cycles 40K TT.   With temps in the high 20's and wind,  hydration was a factor.   Its always tricky to get the pacing right when you are doubling the distance.   Some riders were experiencing muscle cramps and others complained of legs on fire!   We had a guest from Vancouver Christian Hansen who rocked the TT even when he had a flat at the half way point.  Thinking quick he did a wheel change,  got back in the race and came in 2nd with an amazing time.

Despite the heat 2 riders hammered out Personnal Bests:

Congrats to

James Sage Stephen Mohan
