Athlete Registration
Returning Athletes: Each returning rider will receive a code to register for 2023. The information from last season will be integrated into CCNBikes to make your 2023 registration as smooth as possible. Rider registration opens April 1, 2023!
Consider registering for all races in advance with the Super Pass discount.
New Athletes: Contact us to learn more and get the code you'll need to register in CCNBikes.
Even if you're not sure, new riders should consider registering for races with the Super Pass discount. New policy from the league for 2023 will allow for a majority of the race entry fees to be returned IF the student decides not to race. The vast majority of athletes who try a race want to keep attending races. The idea here is to "try it" without significant financial risk :-)
