Adult Membership Info

If joining as an adult you must first decide if you are going to use the track, this requires the correct type of cycling Ireland licence.

So as an example a “Cycling supporter” license is 20e but does not entitle you to use the track, a “Leisure” license doe allow you to use the track.
