Club levels are based on rider skill and commitment to the club. All club member (Mods, Admin, Club Members, Ride leaders) will have a level in addition to their title. The levels are assigned as 0-5. level '0' being the lowest and level '5' being the highest.

Level '0' riders 'Meatballs' are NOT club members. Meatballs are riders who have requested to be a club member. Levels 1-5 are for club members only.

Each club level has minimum criteria that must be met before advancement to the next level can be considered. The Moderators and/or the Administrator will evaluate and approve all level advancements. Level advancements should not be considered obligatory because the minimum requirements have been met.

When the minimum requirements to advance to the next level are met the rider must find someone of a higher level to sponsor them. The sponsor will then request that the staff (mods and admin) vote on the riders advancement. The staff will determine if the rider is ready, needs additional requirements, or deny the request for advancement. Each request will be managed as needed with the interests of the club and the rider in mind.
