One of the stops on this route

If you have been reluctant to join one of MIVA’s gravel rides, this might be the ride for you. About 30km of easy gravel with some incredible vistas. Generally this is not a muddy route, mostly dry crushed gravel and fast compacted dirt.

The Coal City Saturday gravel rides are no drop rides, so we won’t leave you in the wilds and you must be a 2023 MiVA member.

This ride starts and finishes at the end of the pavement on Nanaimo River Road, look for the collection of parked vehicles with bikes. The ride begins at 9am Saturday March 25th and will take 2-2.5hrs. Try to arrive a few minutes early. See you there.

Gentle reminder that the MIVA JAKROO clothing store is closing tomorrow night. If you have been procrastinating now is the time to act!

MIVA Store

Show your club colours on our local MIVA events or during more exotic rides in Mallorca, the Dolomites maybe even in the Andes where our club colours could embellish your photos and leave the locals in awe.

To receive a 10% discount and get shipping covered use the code MIVA10 at the checkout. The answer for most questions are probably on the website. All items ordered will be delivered to Coal City Cycles and should be available for pickup after April 5th.

The MIVA store will be kept open an extra two weeks, until 11:59pm March 20th. This means the delivery date will be approximately 2 weeks later, April 5th, still well before the cycling season goes into full swing mid-April.

As those who made purchases last year can attest, JAKROO clothing is high quality and constructed from perfomant fabic. If you are looking for a cycling jersey that is well fitted but doesn't feel like it's painted on, the Fondo Club jersey might be for you. If you have never used arm warmers, once you have a pair you will appreciate their utility, compact enough to slip in a jersey pocket but there when you need them on chilly mornings or fast descents.

Hope you will find what you need for yourself or as a gift for someone special.

Probably not unexpected. We have tried snow before but it will degenerate into a hike-a-bike and your feet will eventually get soggy and cold. Besides the driveway needs to be shoveled and there are countless other chores to be done to clear up your plate for when the good riding weather gets here. Which should be soonish, have patience.

The next Coal City Cycles Saturday gravel ride will leave from the Coal City Cycles parking lot Saturday, March 4th at 9am.
