BBC Rookie Year Full Membership
1st year BBC members, same as Full Membership.
Due to insurance requirements, the Buffalo Bicycling Club (BBC) requires all participants in BBC training races, group rides, and club hosted events to be BBC members.
The BBC can no longer allow "non-members" to participate in BBC training races and events. You must purchase a BBC membership from the options above. This "a la carte" approach will give members the option to select what best suits his/her availability and desired participation level.
All membership options will give you full BBC member rights per the BBC constitution and bylaws, but each will vary individually in event eligibility and marshaling requirements.
BBC "Out of Towner" Membership

Booster Membership
This support membership is for anyone who won't be racing but would like to be on the BBC mailing list. This membership keeps you in the know of club events and news.
MARSHALLING
It's not a glamorous membership duty, but marshaling is the most important race job. Marshals play a vital role in creating a safe and controlled environment for riders during events. Please keep that in mind, without marshals, there can't be BBC races! Future marshals, thank you for your support!
Marshaling Requirements:
Full and Rookie members must marshal one BBC hosted events. If you do, we'll reward you for your efforts by giving you back $40 on your club membership dues!
