Become a GCMTB member
Gold Coast Mountain Bike Club (GCMTB) is affiliated with the national cycling body, AusCycling. To become a member of GCMTB, you must first register with AusCycling and then choose GCMTB as your local club. AusCycling have several levels of membership, covering things from public liability to income protection and medical insurance.
We recommend a minimum level of “Lifestyle” membership for anyone joining our social rides, and this is the mandatory minimum required membership for participants in our Dirt Groms coaching program or Young Guns social rides.
For those that want to support GCMTB with club membership only, and do not require the Personal Accident Insurance or Public Liability Insurance included with the Lifestyle membership, just sign-up for a “Non-Riding” membership via AusCycling and nominate Gold Coast Mountain Bike Club as your local club. You will only be charged for club fees, without any AusCycling fees.
Details can be found on the AusCycling website (scroll down on page): https://www.auscycling.org.au/membership
Free 4 Week Trial Membership
AusCycling offers a free 4-week trial membership which gives you limited coverage, but enough to allow you to join GCMTB on our social rides and events. You cannot nominate GCMTB as your local club whilst on a trial membership, you must sign up for an annual membership first.
