Membership
You can join the Midland Cycling Club online by going to the Cycling Australia website http://membership.cycling.org.au/.
Membership categories are Race, Ride and Non-Ride
Race
This membership will allow you to enter races conducted by Cycling Australia and local Clubs. It is a calendar year membership in line with the UCI. If you are intending to race, you must select a “RACE” membership category. Look for “Race Elite and U23”, “Race – Masters U65, “Race Junior U15″ etc.
Ride Basic & Ride Plus
This memberships allows participation in social rides, Gran Fondos, Cyclo Sportif events, designated timed events sanctioned by Cycling Australia and our affiliated States and Clubs, as well as club and individual training, and commuting. Please note additional event entry fees may apply. Many cyclists are reluctant to take the step from recreational rider to joining a cycling club for fear that their cycling skills are not adequate. The Ride Basic membership allows MCC to introduce new members into the cycling club culture through a range of group and training rides and skill based training programs. It is a non-competitive licence allowing cyclists to participate in events run by clubs for the sole reason of just ‘having a fun ride’.
Non-Ride
This membership is suitable for accredited officials, volunteers and club executives who are not active on the bike. Public Liability and Professional Indemnity insurance is provided, however if you wish to receive personal accident insurance while training or riding, you should purchase a Recreational or Race membership.
