Joining California Road Club Membership in CRC is open to men and women of all ages and abilities. The club's focus is amateur road racing and most members come to the club with at least some racing experience. The membership is predominantly masters and soon-to-be masters riders. But all we require really is an interest in the sport and commitment to helping with the club's activities throughout the year, including organizing the Mt. Tam Hill Climb. We have always been a club where most of the members know each other, rather than one where you're making your introductions at the start line of a race. We'd like to keep it that way so we take a little more time with new members than some other clubs. So if you're interested in joining CRC, please introduce yourself - just look for our Hill & Co. jerseys at races or on our weekend rides. Ride with us Our club meets many Saturdays and Sundays throughout the year for fast group training rides in Marin County. We depart either from the south parking lot of the Golden Gate Bridge at 8 a.m., or from Poggio restaurant in Sausalito at about 8:30. Group size varies, depending on our racing and training schedules. During racing season (and when the weather's really bad) you might not see any of us. If that happens look for the bridge ride that usually goes off at 8AM, and meets up with the Roastery ride in San Anselmo. If you see us, please say hello and let us know if you're interested in joining CRC. Our group rides range from three to five hours, sometimes longer during the winter. Typical training rides include repeats in the Headlands, Paradise Loop through Tiburon, Alpine Loop over the north side of Mt. Tam, or Pt.Reyes Station via Nicasio. These are generally not "no-drop" rides (for some it's the only long-hard ride of the week) so please come prepared to go it alone if need be. This is the best way for prospective members to meet us and to express interest in joining - and to see if it's a good fit. If you want more info, you can e-mail our membership guy at contact@californiaroadclub.org. (Update: due to spam filters these haven't all been getting through, so in-person is still the best way to reach us). Membership Benefits Membership benefits change year to year, but recently have included access to deals on bikes, frames, and cycling gear; discounts at local cycling-related businesses; team clothing (at cost or lower); destination training camps at reasonable cost; and access to one of the country's leading training programs. We also meet throughout the year for dinner & cycling talk at a local restaurant.
