Some of you guys should start a rebel organisation, set up national events for both road and track, administer the sport at a national level while catering for teams to compete internationally, police the rules, cover all the checks and balances that the Federal Government require you to have regarding doping, working with children etc, and then charge $3.50 to join.
You'd make millions.

My old licences each have my masters racing category on them. Now this has been replaced by a GENERIC category called Masters U65.
This is very disappointing, with age it is far more difficult to remember these things and I will now have to look up my cat before I race.

Agree with first point. But I'd argue it would make more sense to make MTBA absorb CA rather than the other way around. I don't want to see my MTB license go up in the process.barefoot wrote:Nonetheless, my point remains. There shouldn't need to be separate governing bodies for "cycling" and MTB. MTB is cycling, just as much as track and road are cycling. Incorporate MTBA as a sub-committee of CA. Get rid of the duplications. Let me buy one license.
No one has managed to explain why MTBA license (arguable higher insurance premiums) can be so much less than CA.

Lower membership cost is definitely a nice change. I've been holding off from a Race membership as it was way too expensive in the last years. But to me, it still is a fair amount with the $10-15 for each race too.

For a number of reasons, I don't feel I get value for this large amount from CA and as such, I'm not likely to renew.
