Please contact the Club Office for further information. No cancellations of memberships once fully processed. We cannot process or issue membership refunds for any reason.
A note on the required OC membership step:
All OBC members are required to hold a membership with Ontario Cycling (OC). Most OBC members only require a “Community Membership” with OC. If you are registering for the Youth Program or plan to race within Ontario, you may require a Challenge or Compete Membership.
*Membership fees do not include 2024 OC Membership. Each OBC member is required to also hold (a) a Community Membership ($45 or less), (b) a Challenge Membership ($75 or less), or (c) a Compete Membership ($100 or less).
It is important to read everything provided in the on-line registration service carefully! Once you have completed your application, you will be emailed a letter confirming your registration with the Ottawa Bicycle Club, that includes your membership number and membership card, and that payment has been made as well as other important club information. You will also receive a separate confirmation message concerning your registration with Ontario Cycling.
