Which CSA membership to buy??

[Jayden Draper]

Please forgive my ignorance, I am new to the cycling scene. I understand that I need a CSA license to race, and if I don't have one, then I can purchase a day license. When on the CSA website, there is an option for a CSA membership, does this qualify for the license one needs for races or do I have to purchase a full domestic race license? I am far from the level needed to compete provincially and nationally.

If you are not going to race in the UCI age categories / at national level all you need is the membership.

If you are at the sharp end of your age group, and want to test your mettle, you should add the domestic racing license to the normal membership

As above ... just a normal membership.

 

 

The other option is to buy a day license for each race .... if you do more than about 5 CSA santioned events per year it is cheaper and less schlep to just buy the annual membership.

 

 

Membership is for the next 365 days.  So NO need to wait for January for a calender year membership.

 

Same membership applies to road and MTB races ... most probably to gravel events.

CSA membership is all you need.

And don't forget that you need to belong to a Club that's registered with CSA.

So I belong to a Club, but when i try and renew my CSA membership to add a racing license nothing happens dispite paying as the CSA website cannot verify my Mobile number as it no longer can send you the SMS to verify your number, this has been going on for over two months.

 

Is anyone else having this issue?

The new website implementation has not gone very well
