Our club and cycling as a sport need the support of each one of us. Everyone cycling should be encouraged to hold membership as protection both for themselves, other road users and the club. For those holding a racing licence it allows members to compete anywhere in Australia in any Road or Track event conducted under the auspices of Cycling Australia. The adult annual membership fee varies between $65 for a non racing licence to $200 plus for a full elite racing licence. Another benefit of becoming a member is the quarterly newsletter sent to all households and access to the CQ's professional coaching structure.
Our cycle insurance in addition to covering racing, organised training, club meetings, fundraising activities, travel to and from these activities also includes logged individual training. This is assumed to mean all training that you use to improve your cycling; i.e. the gym, running/jogging, power walking etc. so if you are injured doing any training towards cycling and can produce a log book you should be covered. So if you want to take advantage of this ..... record all training.
Good, safe and insured cycling.
