Worth the £41 to join CTC?

[HLaB]

Just renewed mine but next year I might not bother I needed a BC silver license anyway for TT'ing in Scotland, my BC license may supersede it in future. I was gong to buy a new front light for £80, I may make do now with my cheaper smart 35 lux.

Have you ever thought of submitting something to The Ride journal on an fnrttc ?

So how do I go about finding a CTC affilate link for the deal prices as my BC mebership runs out this month. I only went with BC for the Halfords 10% off of vouchers deal.

(later edit) hhmm... these clubs are charging £10 and up to join. Perhaps we should up our subs from the super-cheap £2

btw - CTC full membership offer now £16 for students

FNRttC would be right up their street. Get Claudine to write it!

I'm a CTC member and think it well worth while. I participate in many Chester & North Wales DA rides and activities. I also take part in the Tourist competition, which our club has won yet again and I have finished 9th overall. It gives me a focus for my cycling and I enjoy riding in new areas with different riders.

The only thing that I don't like about the CTC is it's charity status. Whenever it is mentioned it reads; CTC the cyclist's charity, not sure what image that gives to non members but not quite the Cyclist's Touring Club image of yesteryear.

Expensive? I haven't been able to find cycling specific insurance anywhere else for 79p / week. Excellent value in my mind - mind you reading the magazine almost makes me want to give up cycling!!!!

 

[e-rider]

I'm a recreational and touring cyclist so belonging to a local club is not for me as I don't race or enjoy group rides.
Looked at the CTC - apart from access to their classified ads is there a benefit in paying the £41 membership?

no

 

[P.H]

It works out at 80p a week, your pockets don't have to be very deep.
It's far from perfect but it is the best voice we have, as long as I broadly agree with what it's trying to achieve it'll get my subs.
