Membership Form

Membership Types Explained - Full and Limited

Full Membership - $45
The full membership includes a Mad FORCs Jersey, discount at Williamson Bicycle & Fitness, discount at A Stone's Throw, special discounted purchase opportunities from our sponsors, a discount on the Dirt Retreat fee, the club newsletter, access to our email list, access to weekly rides and many more great benefits. This membership is allows you to take full advantage of all the benefits that come with the Mad FORCs including riding and socializing with a wide array of great women who share your passion for mountain biking.

Full members are expected to wear the current club jersey as frequently as possible to show our sponsors that we appreciate their commitment to our club. Any full members that race are expected to wear the team jersey when racing (okay, not on every lap of a 24 Hour race but as much as possible even then). In addition, full members should show respect to our sponsors by speaking about them in a positive manner, recommending their business or product, and not recommending competitors businesses or products. In addition, full members should remember that they represent the club and the sponsors and remember to always show respect to other riders and the environment when riding. Don't yell at people, swear (at least do it under your breath), ride on closed trails, leave energy bar wrappers on the trail or otherwise act with disrespect. I find it hard to imagine that any of the great women I've met through mountain biking would do those things but it's always worth mentioning.

Limited Membership - $10
The limited membership includes the club newsletter, access to the email list, access to weekly rides, and a discount on the Dirt Retreat fee. This membership is intended for women who race for other teams/sponsors and other supporters of the Mad FORCs. This membership allows you to show your support for women's mountain biking, keep up-to-date on activities and ride and socialize with a wide array of great women who share your passion for mountain biking.

Limited members should join us on rides, offer to lead rides, come to meetings and social events and help make women's mountain biking stronger. We'd love it if you'd frequent our sponsor's businesses and buy their products but we can't offer you our team discounts and deals. In addition, we'd ask that you also be respectful to others and the environment while riding with us, by yourself or with other teams.
