2023 Club Memberships

Membership renewals will be open from 1st October 2022 and can be processed online at the Cycling New Zealand https://www.cyclingnewzealand.nz/clubs-and-membership/becoming-a-member/ from that date. The new membership will be valid through to 31 December 2023.
Membership Options Updated

Following a review by Cycling New Zealand,2016 the licensing structure nationwide has been streamlined. As a result the pricing and membership tiers have been updated for the new season. There are no longer separate 'ride' or 'race' categories, they become 'Adult' and 'Youth (U19)'. Pricing for the new season will be as follows:

Adult Licence	$110
Youth Licence	$50

Change to a single tier membership structure means that some members will pay less and others will pay more. The overall change is "revenue neutral" for all levels of the Cycling structure in New Zealand - Taupo Road Cycling Club, Waikato/BOP Regional Centre and Cycling New Zealand Federation. (Your membership fee is shared amongst these three parts of the organisation).

Membership Benefits

For those members that will face an increase in membership fees, there are a range of opportunities and benefits that open up to you as a result of these changes:

• Access to be able to enter any club, regional or National event throughout New Zealand, both Road & Track and Mountain Bike
• Access to a large number of events that are safer and more controlled than many of the fun rides that are held, and with much cheaper entry fees as well.
• Cycling New Zealand Website profile and online access
• Regular e-newsletters from Cycling New Zealand
• Discounts from a range of partners (including Noel Leeming, Repco and Placemakers amongst others)
