2 Club Memberships?

[Rouge79]

In general is being a member of 2 cycling clubs allowed or is it frowned upon or does no-one just give a ****?

There are 2 quite close to me that offer different things but both together are ideal. i.e 1 offers BOTH saturday & Sunday runs and CX in Winter, whereas the other offers only Sunday runs but the split of runs/groups is more varied.

I'm going to do a duple of test rides with both but if i like both then i'm in trouble

Yes its allowed .... you will be a second claim to one of them
1st club will ask upon joining which clubs are you in

So on the BC website i'd sign up for the 1st club and say no other clubs and then if i sign up with the 2nd i'd put down that i'm already a member of the 1st?

Anyway i've emailed 1 of them to see if that would be an issue so fingers crossed

Alternatively, you can join one or more clubs without having to join BC

Presumably the cyclocross is part of a local league (London league?) you can generally enter on the line as a member of any club- any region. To collect league points your club only needs register.

While I'm here might I recommend cyclocross.

Talking of cyclocross, this article came to mind, although probably has been posted before, but a good watch. The video is down the page a bit:-

I remember river crossing vividly, a real nutter sport.

I can't see why this is an issue. Any club you join will be glad of another member & your money! Why should they care if you have multi memberships? It's nobody's business but yours.
