Since it’s founding in 1996, the RRRC has maintained a referral process for all new members. The intent of this process is to ensure at least two current members get to know a potential new member and explain our club philosophy and service requirement.  New members must be nominated and seconded by current club members.

Club Philosophy

The RRRC is primarily a social bike club. However, many members compete in USCF sanctioned races. As a social club, our focus is on riding together.  Our long training rides therefore have more regrouping than a normal training ride, and often have rest stops which allow members and other riders to socialize. Members of the RRRC are asked to behave on the bike in a fashion which makes other riders look forward to our attendance and participation.

Dues and Membership Fees

New members are required to pay an initiation fee is $40. Annual membership dues are $10. The annual fee is primarily used to purchase club insurance. In odd years, a portion of the monies accrued from dues, the Polar Bear Metric Century and sponsors, is used to underwrite the cost of club clothing for active members

Club and Community Service Requirement

The RRRC has an annual service requirement which all new and active members agree to support.  The following is a partial list of the available service activities:

1)     Annual Polar Bear Metric Century – Second Saturday in January

2)     Quarterly Huntersville-Concord Rd Adopt-A-Hwy cleanups

3)     Carolina Time Trial Association support – 9 events at Lowe’s Motor Speedway throughout each summer

4)     Annual Crossroads Classic support – Required to maintain USCF sanctioning.
