Provisional Race Licence
A provisional race licence comes free with all Race Gold, Race Silver and Race Bronze memberships and is enough to get you into most BMX, Cyclo-cross, cycle speedway and MTB races. To be sure, check with the event organiser beforehand (Please note: If you race on a provisional licence you will not be eligible for any licence points). If you are a Ride member you won’t be riding competitively right now, so your membership does not include any type of race licence.
Purchase can be made online in addition to the purchase of a Race Silver or Race Gold membership. To add a Race Licence to an existing membership call the membership team on 0161 274 2010.
Important: Full race licences expire on 31 December each year.
Eligibility
As a general rule, the higher the standard of race, the more likely it is that you will need to buy a full race licence with your membership. To find out more with our guide to licence requirements.
