Social Ride FAQ’s
Do I need to be a GCMTB Club Member?
No. You don’t need to be a club member to join our social rides. But it would be cool if you were! Sign up here and select Gold Coast Mountain Bike Club when registering.
Do I need to be a AusCycling Member?
It is our preference that you are an AusCycling Member, but adults can still participate without AusCycling membership if you have your own insurance and sign our waiver. For Young Guns or other junior riders, you need to have an AusCycling membership (“Lifestyle” or higher level) or an active 4-week free trial AusCycling membership. Sign up here.
Do I need to sign a waiver?
You will need to read and sign a waiver prior to participating in a GCMTB Club Social Ride. The waiver will be provided to you by the ride leader.
