Race Licence
Race Licences Explained
Bronze, Silver and Gold Race members receive a Provisional Race Licence and have access to a Full Race Licence with their membership. It's just one of the many benefits of being a member of British Cycling.
Full Race Licence
If you are planning on taking part in a competitive bike race, there is a good chance that you will need to add on a Full Race Licence while purchasing your Membership, particularly if you are going to be doing road or track racing. You will also need a Full Race Licence to earn points in any National or Regional rankings.
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 download our Guide to Eligibilities.
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. 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.
