BSCC Membership & Licenses

Why join the Ballarat-Sebastopol Cycling Club?

By becoming a member of the Ballarat-Sebastopol Cycling Club (BSCC), you are supporting the club in organizing events for its members. BSCC offers memberships in a number of cycling disciplines, including road, track, cross-country mountain bike (MTB), and soon bicycle motocross (BMX).  

Cycling Australia (CA) is the governing association responsible for managing road and track racing in Australia.  Mountain Bike Australia (MTBA) is responsible for all forms of mountain biking, and BMX Australia (BMXA) is responsible for BMX racing. Each of the different associations require their own membership (don't get us started ...), but you only need to pay your BSCC membership fee once per year. CA is the ruling association, so if you are a member of CA, that entitles you to discounts at the other associations, MTBA & BMXA.  

Membership of any of the associations includes insurance, which covers you any time you are participating in a sanctioned cycling activity (including all club races), as a competitor, official or volunteer .

Membership and license types

Cycling Australia Race Licenses

If you want to race on the road (including criteriums) or track with the club, and in any other Cycling Australia sanctioned race, then you will need a Cycling Australia open race license.  Licenses are valid until the end of the calendar year in which they are issued. 

If you're not sure if racing is for you and you want to try it out before you get a full license, then you can get a 3-race permit for $50. This will allow you to do 3 races with the club. If you then decide to upgrade to a full license, you get the $50 off its price.

If you wish to upgrade to an open license from a Ride-it or 3-Ride license, please contact the Membership Officer.

RideIt Licenses

If you don't want to race but still want to join the Ballarat-Sebastopol Cycling Club, the RideIt license is for you. This gives you club membership and ensures that you are insured when you take part in club events, such as training or social rides.
