Hello, South City Cycling Club.
Complete the challenge or

Oh, hi, I want to find out about joining the club.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
Right. I can help you there.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
I'm the club secretary and my name's Jim Hunter.
Complete the challenge or

Oh, hi Jim.
Complete the challenge or

So, are you interested in membership for yourself?
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
That's right.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
OK. Well there are basically two types of adult membership.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
If you're pretty serious about cycling, there's the Full membership.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
That costs $260
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
and that covers you not just for ordinary cycling
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
but also for races both here in the city and also in other parts of Australia.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
Right. Well, I'm not really up to that standard.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
I was more interested in just joining a group to do some cycling in my free time.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
Sure, that's why most people join.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
So, in that case you'd be better with the Recreational membership.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
That's $108 if you're over 19, and $95 if you're under.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
I'm 25.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
Ok, It's paid quarterly, and you can upgrade it later to the Full membership if you want to, of course.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
Now both types of membership include the club fee of $20.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
They also provide insurance in case you have an accident,
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
though we hope you won't need that, of course.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
No, OK, well, I'll go with the Recreational membership, I think.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
And that allows me to join in the club activities, and so on?
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
That's right.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
And once you're a member of the club, you're also permitted to wear our kit when you're out cycling.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
It's green and white.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
Yes, I've seen cyclists wearing it.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
So, can I buy that at the club?
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
Ah.. no, it's made to order by a company in Brisbane.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
You can find them online: they're called Jerriz.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
That's J-E-R-R-I-Z.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
You can use your membership number to put in an order on their website.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
Ok, now, can you tell me a bit about the rides I can do?
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
Sure, so we have training rides pretty well every morning,
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
and they're a really good way of improving your cycling skills as well as your general level of fitness,
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
but they're different levels.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
Level A is pretty fast - you're looking at about 30 or 35 kilometres an hour.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
If you can do about 25 kilometres an hour, you'd probably be level B,
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
and then level C are the novices, who stay at about 15 kilometres per hour.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
Right, well I reckon I'd be level B.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
So, when are the sessions for that level?
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
Ah... there are a couple each week.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
They're both early morning sessions.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
There's one on Tuesdays, and for that one you meet at 5.30 am,
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
and the meeting point's the stadium.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
Do you know where that is?
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
Yes, it's quite near my home, in fact.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
OK, and how about the other one?
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
That's on Thursdays.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
It starts at the same time, but they meet at the main gate to the park.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
Is that the one just past the shopping mall?
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
That's it.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
So how long are the rides?
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
Ah.. they're about an hour and a half.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
So, if you have a job it's easy to fit in before you go to work.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
And the members often go somewhere for coffee afterwards, so it's quite a social event.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
OK. That sounds good.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
I've only just moved to the city so I don't actually know many people yet.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
Well, it's a great way to meet people.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
And does each ride have a leader?
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
Sometimes, but not always.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
But you don't really need one; the group members on the ride support one another, anyway.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
How would we know where to go?
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
If you check the club website, you'll see that the route for each ride is clearly marked.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
So you can just print that out and take it along with you.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
It's similar from one week to another, but it's not always exactly the same.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
And what do I need to bring?
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
Well, bring a bottle of water, and your phone.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
You shouldn't use it while you're cycling, but have it with you.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
Right, and in winter, it's well before sunrise when we set out,
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
so you need to make sure your bike's got lights.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
That's OK.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
Well, thanks Jim. I'd definitely like to join.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
So what's the best way of going about it?
