Getting Started Guide 

 

STEP 1. Get a Licence

Getting started in competitive cycling is easy. To race you need to be a member of a Queensland cycling club and also have a Cycling Australia race licence. You can join a club and obtain a licence online through through the Cycling Australia Membership HQ or click the button below or alternatively contact our club secretary directly who can help you complete and application form and accept your affiliation fee. If you are not sure about it and just want to give it a go you may purchase a temporary licence to try it out. The 3 race temporary licence is the best value.

Click HERE to join as a racing member. There are options for different age riders, and also the option to pay monthly. Schedule of costs is below.

Click HERE to Purchase a Race Starter Kit. This membership is only for people who have not held a race membership with Cycling Australia previously.  It offers the opportunity for people to try out racing (club races only) for two months from the date of purchase.  During the two month period, you can race with any club that supports this product (as many times as you like) noting normal race participation fees apply. Should Cycling Australia identify that you have held a race membership previously, you will be charged a full 12 months race membership.
