Moray Firth Cycling Club is now affiliated to Cycling Time Trials. The main benefit of this is that mfcc members will not be required to buy a race licence to ride CTT events, just the entry fee. The Club will also be able to organise races under a CTT licence in the future. Frequently Asked Questions 1. If my club affiliates to CTT, does it affect my club’s relationship with SC/BC? No, clubs can be affiliated to both organisations as most of the clubs in England and Wales are. 2. If my club affiliates to CTT can I ride in SC events? Yes, as long as you fulfill the membership requirements of SC. 3. If my club affiliates to CTT do I need to buy a CTT licence to race in CTT events? No, there is no race licence required by CTT.
