Cycling NZ 2019 Membership is Open Now
Get in early, and avoid the end of year rush and have your licence all ready for next year so you can cruise through the holiday season without having to worry.
Please be aware that if you purchase a 2019 licence before 31st December, this is the age category you will compete in for the remainder of the 2018 calendar year.
*2018 licences are valid until 31st December unless a 2019 licence is issued prior, which will then make the 2018 licence no longer valid.
Cycling New Zealand Licences also come with a range of membership benefits – check out their partner discounts HERE as well as invaluable public liability insurance.
The policy provides licensed riders cover for any damage to a third party property or persons that they are found legally liable for by their actions whilst riding, this is extended to cover whilst competing in races. How great is that!
If you have any queries about licencing, insurance, clubs or general membership, contact the membership team at membership@cyclingnewzealand.nz

TRACK CHIT CHAT
From Ian Gray.
The Opening Track Meeting is upon us this Sunday 28 October at 3pm.Warmup at 2 30pm.Come early as you need to register & obtain you’re seasons racing number. We all need to be patient as this is an ” orientation ” meeting and we have lot of new keen riders (which have really impressed me with their initial skills & fitness at bike fits and at orientation .We need to emphasize rules and safety,not only to the rookie riders but also to those returning to the velodrome.The first event is a special 2 lap time trial over 800 M,so new riders can get confidence riding competitively. As we have no track records over that this distance it will be run under record conditions with riders on each side of the track 3 watches on each rider.Winning riders in each grade will establish a record for the 2lap distance. Next we will have scratch races in each grade to help establish handicaps for future events on the program. Look forward to seeing you all at Fielding on Sunday.
PS. Road bikes on track start at 1 30 pm.
