We’ve made the decision to cancel today’s gravel/CX ride due to ongoing rain showers, and accumulation in the past few days leading to muddy trails and slippery roots on the route. See you out there another day!
For those who placed a Jackroo order, they are now available for pick up at Coal City Cycles. Run on down!
You have no doubt noticed the three logos on the back of every MIVA jersey: that is because these local shops have earned this honour with a long standing history of supporting our club. Over the years they have contributed in so many ways, including donating prizes, sponsoring rides and events, and always being willing to share their expertise.
On top of all this, we are pleased to highlight these additional offers available to MIVA members. When you make a purchase at any of the shops listed, mention you are a MIVA member and receive:
10% off clothing and accessories at Arrowsmith Bikes
15% off selected clothing and accessories from Rock City Cycle (discount dependent on item purchased, excludes Shimano products).
Rewards card available from Coal City Cycles to collect and redeem points for discounts.
No need to show membership affiliation, a mere mention will suffice.
We extend a big thank you to these businesses for supporting MIVA and the cycling community in the Nanaimo area.
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!
