1. Hello, South city cycling club.
2. Hi, i want to find out about joining the club.
3. Right.
4. I can help you there.
5. I am the club's secretary, but my name is Jim Ht.
6. Oh, hi, JIM.
7. So, are you interested in membership for yourself.
8. That's right.
9. OK.
10. Well, there are basiclly tow type of adult's membership.
11. If you are pretty serious about cyclying, this is the full membership.
12. That costs two hundred and six dollars, and that covers you not just for ordinarycycling, but also for races, both here in the city, and also in other parts of Australia.
13. Right.
14. I am not really up to that standard.
15. I am more interested in just join a group to do some cycling in my free time.
16. Sure.
17. That's why most people join.
18. So in that case, you'd be better with the recreational membership.
19. That's one hundred nine dollars if you are over ninteen, and ninty five dollars if you are under.
20. I am twenty five.
21. OK.
22. It's paid quarterly, and you can upgrade it later to the full membership, if you want to of course.
23. Now, both type of membership include the club fee, of twenty dollars.
24. They also provide insurance, in case you have an accident, though, we hope you won't need that of course.
25. No.
26. OK, i will go with the recreation membership i think.
27. And that allow me to join the club activities and so on.
28. That's right.
29. And once you are a member of the club, you also are permitted to wear our kit, when you out cycling, it's green and white.
30. Yes, i have see cyclists wearing it.
31. So can i buy that at the club?
32. No, it's made to order by a company in Brisben.
33. You can find them online, they called Jrs.
34. That's JERRIZ.
35. OK.
36. Can you tell a bit about the rights that i can do?
37. Sure.
38. So we have trainning rights, pretty well every morning, and they are a really good way inproving your cycling skills. as well as your general level of fittness, but there are different levels.
39. Level A is pretty fast, you are looking at about thirty or thrity-five kilometers an hour.
40. If you can do about twenty five kilometers an hour, you probably be level B, and then the level C are the novice, who stay about fifteen kilometers an hour.
41. Right.
42. Well, i recogonize i would be level B.
43. So when are the sessions for that level?
44. They are a couple each week.
45. They are both early morning sessions.
46. This one is on tuesdays and for that one you meet at five thirty am, and meeting points the stadium, do you know where that is?
47. Yes, it'e quite near my home in fact.
48. OK, how about the other one?
49. That's on thursdays.
50. It's starts the same time, but they meet the main gate to the park.
51. Is that one just past the shopping mall?
52. That's it.
53. So how long are the rides?
54. There are about an hour and a half.
55. So, if you have a job, it's easy to fit in before you go to the work.
56. And members often go somewhere for coffee afterwards, so it's quite a social event.
57. OK, that sounds good.
58. I have just move to city, so i don't actual know many people yet.
59. Well, it's a great way to meet people.
60. And does each ride have a leader?
61. Sometimes, but not always.
62. But you don't really need one, the group member on the ride support one another anyway.
63. How would we know where to go?
64. If you check the club website, you see the route for each ride is clearly marked.
65. So you can just print that out, and take along with you.
66. It's similar form one week to another, but it's not always exactly the same.
67. What do i need to bring?
68. Well, bring a bottle of water, and your phone.
69. You shouldn't use it while you are cycling, but have it with you.
70. Right.
71. And in winter, it's well before sunrise when we set out, so you need to make sure your bikes got lights.
72. That's ok.
73. Well, thanks, JM.
74. I definitly like to join.
75. So what's the best way of going about it?
