Jackroo Order Closes Monday at Midnight

The Jackroo store bulk order closes Monday April 28 at midnight

Click here to view the store, with some new and returning favourites.

The Jackroo store has dynamic pricing which is a bit unique. The starting discount level for all team members is 20%. As team members place their orders and reach the next discount level, the price automatically drops for everyone, even for those who placed their order before the drop.

Final pricing for each item will be based on the highest discount level achieved for that item. Payment is processed after the close of the order period so everyone receives the same low price, regardless of when your order was placed. Yes, it’s that cool! Also please make sure to use the code “MIVA25” at checkout. 

Orders will be accepted through April 28 at midnight, with an estimated arrival on May 14. To save on shipping costs all orders will be sent together and can be picked up at Coal City Cycles. After the store closes orders can still be accepted, but the best pricing, and free shipping is available during this group order period. 

If you need assistance with sizing we recommend the Sizing Recommendation Service provided by Jackroo. Prior to your order you can input the requested information and a size recommendation will be provided to you. If this recommendation is incorrect, you pay to return the unused item to Jackroo (with tags on, and within 14-days of original delivery date), and Jackroo pays to have a new size created for you!

New to Gravel Riding? Green Gravel Rides start April 19 2025

Are you newer to gravel, or are you looking for a less technical or slower paced gravel ride? MIVA’s Green Gravel rides are a great way to grow your skills and legs in a supportive, no-drop group format, meaning we'll regroup to make sure no one gets left behind. Green Gravel rides will start April 19, check our calendar for dates, meeting locations, and routes.

Routes will generally include gravel roads with surfaces appropriate to grow your skills without being too overwhelming. Routes are best enjoyed on a gravel bike with tires 38mm or larger. More seasoned gravel riders are welcome, but please do not push the pace. If you are frequently finding yourself off the front, go back and ride alongside or behind the slowest rider.

Rides can include remote areas without vehicle access or cell service. Riders are expected to be prepared for longer rides, carrying supplies for basic mechanicals, fuel and hydration.

This ride requires MIVA membership. Join here, or or you can try two MIVA events with signed waivers. Waivers can be found on the "About Us" page: either print, sign and bring along, or fill it out and email to miva.board@gmail.com

If you have more questions please reach out!

MIVA 2025 Clothing Store Sneak Peek. Opens April 9th - April 30th

Before the MIVA clothing store opens April 9th we would like to give you the chance to review some of the items that will be available. Further details about each item can be found on the Jakroo site (Custom Products / Road Bike). There will be more items than shown here, hopefully this sample will peak your interest.

We have tweaked some of last years designs plus we have added to the collection a new gilet, packsack, socks and a proper cycling cap.

Fondo

Two jersey styles will be available: the race fitting Nova Pro and the more relaxed Fondo jersey. It would be advisable to get sizing advice from last year’s costumers. The MTB style shirt Flow SS will also be available.

 

Mistral

Two light wind/rain resistance jackets are available. The differences between the Barrier Pro and Mistral are subtle so I would recommend checking the Jakroo clothing site.

 

Ventura

If you plan on spending long 5+ hours in the saddle the Ventura cargo bib would be recommended. Thicker padding and cargo thigh pockets will be appreciated on those more adventurous rides. The Solar Pro bib is the competitive option wth less frills. The Luxe cycling shorts are also available.

 

The Epic gilet is new for 2025. Dual back pockets, breathable wind resistant fabric and a 2 way zipper. This should be a popular addition.

We have also added the Century cycling cap and small Scout backpack that easily fits into a jersey pocket.
