You must purchase your licence before the 1^st race of the Series!  To do this, click here:  http://www.cyclingbc.net/buy-your-race-license and then just print out your receipt and bring it to the race.

Hint, if you are only doing the Island Series and local club races, purchase a $42 Citizen licence.  If you are vying for BC Cup points and want to race within your age category, purchase a $130 UCI licence.  You can then just pay your club dues to your club (if applicable) and you are ready for the season!
