Membership
Preston Cycling Club always welcomes new members. Whether you’re looking to compete on the track, road, or both, or whether you are looking for some non-competitive recreational riding or training, Preston Cycling Club can meet your needs.
As a member of the Preston Cycling Club, you will be given continual development opportunities. These include participating in coaching clinics, coaching courses, access to fully qualified and accredited coaches, the opportunity to represent the Preston Cycling Club, Victoria or Australia in the sport of cycling. Most importantly though, you will gain a healthier lifestyle whilst improving and developing your fitness and skills in a friendly environment.
Preston Cycling Club is a fully sanctioned club, and operates under the guidelines of Cycling Australia/Cycling Victoria. Currently, Cycling Australia offer four different membership/licence options - Ride, Ride Plus, Race, and No-Riding. Information about each membership and what it has to offer can be found here.
Within each membership there are a number of license categories, from Kids (12 and under) right through to Masters.
There are as many benefits to purchasing a cycling licence, as there are when becoming a member of the Preston Cycling Club. We recommend the Ride Plus or Race memberships, as both types of licences provide you with insurance cover. This cover includes public liability insurance and a limited personal accident insurance and covers all members including officials and volunteers. It also covers organised or endorsed training programs.
If you decide to join the Preston Cycling Club and take out a Cycling Australia Membership/Licence, simply complete the membership application on-line. During the process you will have an opportunity to nominate Preston Cycling Club as the club you will be joining.
When complete, print out the confirmation/receipt. This will be proof of membership until the plastic licence is sent to you in the mail (usually in about two weeks).
If you are not sure which licence is the most appropriate, or have any questions, please email us at info@prestoncyclingclub.com
