Temporary Race Permits

Cycling Australia offer a couple of options for those that want to try racing before committing to join a club. Note that the cost of these is in addition to event entry fees.

3 Ride Permit - $40

This permit is available only to those who have not previously held a licence.

The permit is available through the club and although it does not provide you with club membership, it gives you the opportunity to race in three events over a 3 month period. You are not permitted to compete in some events (National/State Championship events etc) but it can be used for most club and regional events.

Should you decide to take out a full licence after having a 3 ride permit the cost of the permit is deducted from your full membership fees on condition that

• the permit and the licence are in taken in the same calendar year, and
• that your membership is with the club you purchased your 3 ride permit. (If you decide to join a different club a portion of the cost ($33.00) is still refunded).

If you are interested in the 3 Ride Permit it would be appreciated if you could organise to get this from the club prior to your first event. Taken entries on the day can be hectic and there is a little more paperwork involved in getting licences or permits on the day.

Day Permit - $25

A Day Permit has the same restrictions as the 3 Ride Permit although no refund is available on taking a full membership. The permit may under some circumstances cover an event that extends beyond one day - but is subject to prior approval from CycleSport Victoria and CA.
