To save time and disappointment on race day, we recommend you purchase your license before your 1^st race of the Series!

Please note that for most people on the Island this will be a two part process.

How to choose your license?

Decide what races you are going to attend then answer the following questions:

1. Am I doing only one event?

• If Yes – choose an Associate Membership
• If No – continue to Question 2

2. Am I participating in more than one event which are hosted by the same club? (Example the Hammerfest XC and DH hosted by Arrowsmith MTB Club)

• If Yes – choose an Associate Membership
• If No – continue to question 3

3. Am I collecting BC Cup Points?

• If Yes – choose a UCI License
• If No – choose a Citizen License

To purchase your chosen license, click here:  http://www.cyclingbc.net/buy-your-race-license and then select the appropriate link.

Important next step!

After you add your race license into the cart, please go back and add your Club Fee

Finally

Once you have purchased your license, just print the receipt and bring it to the event with you. This will help save time and hassles onsite.

Please note – we will have a limited number of paper forms at registration for those who are unable to purchase online or are too late to do so.

For riders under 19, a waiver must be signed and faxed to Cycling BC.  Parents must be present for “Race Day” license purchase.
