Question about Cycling Australia / DHBC membership and Audax Australia.
What I (think I) know
Audax Australia = CA membership
DHBC membership = CA membership
Currently I have DHBC membership.
If I'm looking to do a Audax ride, (and maybe more in the future) what is the recommended way or best way you would go about this ? Thanks!

You can ride Audax without being a member of Audax or of Cycling Australia. Audax just charges you extra if you're not a member. I cannot comment whether Audax mbr = CA mbrQuestion about Cycling Australia / DHBC membership and Audax Australia.

DHBC membership includes insurance on club rides and the option to race if you want to get a Gold license.
Being a DHBC member = being a CA member. That means if you ride Audax, they just treat you like one of their members. So no problem riding Audax with a DHBC licence.
I'm pretty sure you can't race with an Audax licence though in case that's a consideration.

Thanks Eleri, I was hoping that is the case.Being a DHBC member = being a CA member. That means if you ride Audax, they just treat you like one of their members. So no problem riding Audax with a DHBC licence.

FYI - From their membership page :
Additionally members can opt for a Racing category licence (extra charge) so that membership with a second Cycling Australia affiliated club is not required if you also want to participate in competitive races. Note, Audax Australia events are not competitive races.
I'm guessing the extra charge is similar to the difference between Silver and Gold membership.
By the way, I have the answer from Audax today and it confirms Eleri's reply.
"For ride entry purposes the principle agreed with CA was that anyone who is a current member of a CA affiliated club would be charged the Audax member rate for entry (i.e. no temporary membership fee). The context of the discussion was with regard to insurance coverage and temp m'ship fees, so whether someone has a racing licence or rec licence is not material.
Our ride entry fees are for (i) Audax/CA member or (ii) non-member. "

I recently remembered that my Cycling Australia membership was coming up for expiry.
I checked today and it expired last Sunday. I was a bit surprised not to receive any reminder. I tried to renew it online but to no avail.
I called CA and apparently they updated their database last year and I was nowhere to be found. I was told to reapply online.
So you may wish to check your licence and keep an eye on the expiry date to make sure you have insurance coverage - and to support the club, of course.

..... the fast oneThere's a few Johns and I don't know which one you are ...
Maybe it is time for a John race!!!! What distance would you like it over? I think John Nguyen would be happy to race you on the track, in the fasties bunch, or on a mountain bike.
I would be happier with the track as we can watch the whole thing with out having to get on a bike!
If you would like to prove other kinds of fast, I am sure we can still some how turn it into a spectator sport, speed skating could be fun

There are currently 6 "John's" registered with the club... 9 if you count "Jonathon's".
Your interesting fact for the day...

I think it would be a redundant event, with John Nguyen taking a clean sweep in everything. But i'm sure he wouldn't mind some challengers.
