I was just wondering how many of you are members of cycling clubs and how much are you annual fees? Also what do you get from your club, number of arranged rides, forum, discounts, do they arrange races?
I am but can’t really see what I get from the club. It is mostly a road club with a separate MTB section. I don't own a road bike so most of the benefits don't seem to apply to me (same fee for mtb or road). All that is available to me in the club is a forum, some local shop discounts (in shops I never use), one ride a week on a Wednesday at the pace of the slowest man (not a training ride) and one ride a month on a Saturday. Both of these are only on for 6 months of the year and will still get cancelled sometimes. They also do some weekends away but these are organised by individuals on the forum not club organised. They don’t get involved in any racing. Most people seem to think this is great service but I am reluctant to pay as it appears i am just funding the road section of the club.
