FAQ's

Manitoba Cycling Association 2024 Waiver

License/Event Waivers may be signed online as part of your online registration, including Parent/guardian consent waivers. A paper signed waiver will be required if you are not a member of the MCA and/or join a one-time club try-out or participate at an event where a day permit is approved and the organizing club has MCA commercial event insurance in place for non-member participation. 

MCA Members who have purchased their licenses online and have signed an online waiver are not required to sign a separate paper waiver at each event unless the club organizer chooses to include an event specific waiver as part of their registration process.

All memberships are valid from the day you purchase your license until  December 31st . Winter Memberships are the exception and will be valid from January 1 to March 31, and November 1 to December 31. 

Once your membership is purchased, you will receive a confirmation via email from CCN Bikes with a link to download your digital license. If you do not receive a confirmation with a link to download your license within 24 hours of your purchase, please contact us.

The MCA no longer issues printed cards; however, a printed card can be requested for an additional fee. Please contact the hard card requests.

If you have a non-racing “General” membership type and wish to upgrade to a race license, you can easily do this by logging back into your CCNBikes account and selecting your preferred membership type.  You will only be charged the difference in the cost from your original purchase and a new digital membership will be sent to you. Race category upgrades require the approval of the MCA. 

Only UCI race licenses and Technical Licenses require a photo (Adult and youth). Please review photo requirements: (Here).  If you are purchasing a General Membership, Manitoba Race License or Kids of Mud membership (race or non-race), you have the option to upload a photo, but a photo is not required.

All persons involved in the competitive aspects of cycling, must take out a license validating their status as a member and confirming their designation. In Manitoba the most common technical licenses are for Officials, Coaches, and Event Organizers. Coaches must have completed training and/or certification as a NCCP cycling coach.  Commissaires must have completed training and passed evaluation at the appropriate level. Caravan Drivers must have successfully complete Cycling Canada’s online Caravan Driving Training. The technical license can be added on to your General Membership or race license purchase free of charge.

All members must reside in Manitoba for 6+ months of the calendar year in order to be eligible to purchase a licence. All members must be covered under a federal or provincial hospital or medical plan.

Single event day permits are available for selected events only and will be available during the registration process for the event approved . The purpose of the permit is to allow non-members to try racing without the investment of an annual race license. A non-member may purchase up to 3 days permits a year, after which time they will need a Manitoba or UCI race license.  Monies paid towards the event permits will be used to offset the upgrade to a race license.  The permit is not a license or a membership, therefore does not provide insurance coverage to the participant.
