Be part of FOUNDATION 100 Membership!

We are hoping to secure a MAJOR Sponsor by this Tuesday.  With this we plan to offer a fantastic membership package for the first 100 members. The proposal at this point is 5 levels of membership: 1) social 2)BWA stream for cyclosportif events 3) Cycling Australia Silver and 4) Cycling Australia Gold.  (the latter 2 for levels of competitive cycling with our, and other clubs) 5) affiliate sports e.g. triathletes.

Foundation membership helps the club get the starting funds required to run events and provide facilities. In return for your support, you will get club kit, (choice of women's cut & style, aero-fit, or looser fit) The first 100 kits will have the words 'Foundation Member' included on the Jersey in recognition of your support.  Your membership fee includes insurance (provided by either BWA or Cycling Australia).  We are currently arranging an affordable membership fee structure, where hopefully social membership is around the cost (or less) of the kit alone.

You will also be able to access coaching, and a variety of cycling events arranged for later in the year.  I will have size sample later in the week if you are interested.

Latest News

initial concept- see actual green below

Northern Beaches Cycling Club and Logo were officially endorsed by members on the 4/3/12. These changes have been submitted to the Department of Commerce, Associations section for formal endorsement.

The PCS Lime Green colour Kit was selected for its unique, distinctive and highly visible colours, with its red 'stop sign' logo replicated in early draft design. Although black, red and blue are popular colours on generic and other club kits, we wanted to spot each other on the road and announce our presence. We are currently looking for a primary sponsor. We are hoping to provide kit as part of a Foundation Membership package.

 We will also have female cyclists design the womens' kit.  Recommendations include, womens chamois, short cut nicks and jersey, all black nicks with side logo for modesty and slim look, with no leg grippers. Reflective piping on back.

We may also consider a mountain bike/ casual bike wear option.

Soon we will have NBC business cards to help promote the club to other riders.

Feel free to join us on the Freeway Bike Hike on March 18.  Some riders are planning to ride from 6030 postcode area to Currambine Start. Following the 30km ride, we will ride as a group back up the coastal route.
