    Due to the very high temperature and humidity forecast for tomorrow evening, we may shorten the event.  That will be a race-time decision.

    In light of the tragic loss of Rosann Peiffer on Saturday, May 31st, we are cancelling the Woodville road race that is scheduled for this coming Tuesday, June 3.  Refunds or credits for entries already purchased for this event will be made.  Our race calendar will resume on June 10th with a criterium at the OOIP venue.  Please take a moment to watch this news report; it says more about Roseann and our cycling comunity than words can adequately relate.

    The first race of the season is TOMORROW 4/26!  A few reminders:

    • Make sure your USAC license is up to date!  Race director will be checking when you check in.
    • *NEW* - MVW Elite membership is a standard membership + $0 registration for any of the 20 regular season races, all for $120.  (You still need to register for each race, it will just be $0)
    • Race registration - please register ONLINE through the website or wild apricot app.  This helps ease the administrative burden for the club.  Race registration prices will remain the same this year, with the exception of onsite registration for members will be $10.  Registration
    • IMPORTANT: Registration for all time trials CLOSES at 5pm the day of the race.  This allows the race director to prepare the start list.
    • New kits!  A big thanks to Joe McEwan on the design.  The clothing store is now open through Wednesday, April 27thMVW Clothing
    • We need a Race Director and workers for our first road race (Scotch Ridge - 3 May) - get signed up!


  • 17 Jun 2021 9:58 AM | Nick Mossing (Administrator)

    Next week's Club Championship Time Trial will be online registration only.  Registration will close at 5pm the day of the race (22 June, 90 minutes before start).

    The reason for this change is to have TT start times established by 6pm and avoid last minute shuffling.  You must register by 5pm via the link below (or wild apricot app) or you will not race.  Note that you can defer payment and pay onsite if you'd like, we just need to know you are coming.

    Register here: Maumee Valley Wheelmen - Race 9: MJT TT (CC)

    Thanks in advance for your cooperation in helping out the race director!

    Nick
