Update on CSV Club racing rules
 

CSV has issued a new memo regarding changes to club racing. Things ar
looking a little better particularly for us metro challenged folk.

Basically you need an approval letter from your home club, a letter o
"invite" from the host race club and a written exemption from CSV i
you are a metro person. Otherwise you need an approval letter from you
home club if you are a non-metro person and can race anywhere (so lon
as the host club is ok with you racing with them). All approval letter
and exemption letters where applicable have to be submitted with rac
registration and these letters are forwarded onto CSV.

If you have an upgrade MTBA licence (or a Defence Forces club member
you are exempt from this admin paper trail.

At least its a more friendly policy than the previous one, even i
still incredibly bureaucratic and time-consuming for all concerned
Easiest thing is to take out an MTBA licence and upgrade to a dua
CA/MTBA licence

forgot to add that it sounds like CSV is actively trying to "promote
racing within combines for metro riders, and that metro riders rac
within the confines of their particular combine group

Update on CSV Club racing rules
 

I'm new to cycle racing (road, MTB, what have you), but I was s
surprised to hear about what road cyclists are up against if they wan
to participate in an event in a different part of town or the stat
from where their club is 'based'.

And here's me thinking - have race licence, entry fee, & bike, wil
race

CSV have had a -lot- of err ... feedback on this decision.

The rules are still broken, and we're still campaigning to get
them made more reasonable.
