Forum Members
Forum Members are the basic entry level. The only requirement to be a Forum Member is to register on
the forums.
Forum Members have access to the general forums and can read/post all they like.
They are welcome to all our 'Open' events; Bike Nights, Open Rides, and any other events
posted in the Club Bike Nights and Open Events section.
Meatballs
Meatballs are Forum Members who have decided they'd like to take the next step towards becoming a full Club Member.
Becoming a Meatball is simple, just fill out the Meatball Information Form and include
a photo showing your face. That's it. You will need to be logged into the forum in order to fill out the form. If you are not logged in you will be automatically redirected to the login page.
Your Meatball evaluation period will then begin one your information form and photo are received.
The eval period will be for 4 Months AND 4 rides. Just because you've been around for 4 months doesn't
mean you get in. You also need to participate in 4 rides during your Meatball time. You DO NOT have to
get 4 rides in within 4 months, and if you get 4 rides in under 4 months, you still have to wait the 4 month period. All
four rides must be completed within 16 months of Meatball start date.
During this period will also be invited to any club events that are held. You are not required to attend, but it is
a good chance to meet more of the club and get to know everyone.
After your Meatball eval period, the Club Members will be given 30 days to vote on making you a full Club Member.
If for some reason membership is denied you can apply to become a meatball again after a 4 month wait from membership denial.
