Why has the membership entry process changed?
Auckland MTB Club is affiliated with Bike NZ. Bike NZ is a national umbrella organisation that supports biking across multiple disciplines through strategic planning, advocacy, coaching and bike development programs. As a volunteer organisation, we have limited resources so are always looking for ways to save on administration costs and focus on the important stuff like planning social rides, events and trail building for you to enjoy. Bike NZ provides us support through insurance and a membership database system.
Any other questions, please email me at membership@aucklandmtb.co.nz
Happy Riding!
The Auckland MTB Club Committee
