Category: About the OCC
Oakville Cycling Club membership is comprised of club dues and Ontario Cycling Association (OCA) Competitive Club membership. Membership is valid for the calendar year and includes all OCC rides and events. If you would like to join us, please follow the instructions below to register online.
Club Dues
Membership is processed on the OCA's online platform, provided by CCN/Interpodia. They charge a service fee of $5.09 (4.50+HST) on top of dues. Total charge with fees is $85.09.
Membership Sign-up/Renewal Process
The registration and payment process is completed online on the CCN Bikes website.
There are two charges that need to be added to your cart when registering:
- Ontario Cycling Association license fee of $46 (if you have already registered with another OCA club or have a race permit you do not have to pay this fee again)
- Oakville Cycling Club annual fee of $34
Once you have successfully completed your registration, your OCA membership card will be emailed to you attached to the confirmation email. Please be sure to hang on to this.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: I am not sure if the club is a right fit for me. I would like to try a ride or two first, before deciding to join. Is this possible?
A: No. Due to overwhelming demand for membership in the club, and the overhead of obtaining waivers and filing paperwork with the Ontario Cycling Association, the club executive made a conscious decision that we will not be allowing "Try and Buy" types of rides.
Q: Okay, I'll join. How do I sign up?
A: Click on the "Register Now!" button above and you will be taken to our online provider for registration.
Q: Is online the only way possible to register?
A: Yes. By registering online, you are signing waivers that are filed directly with the OCA. The club does not handle membership registrations directly any more. This allows us to be sure that everyone who has signed up has agreed to, and signed, the waivers.
Q: It looks like I'm being taken to a completely different website when I click on "Register Now!" Is that normal and safe?
A: Yes. Our online provider is called CCN Bikes (Cycle Component Network). They handle the payment processing and waiver submissions for the OCC and the OCA. We have confirmed that CCN bikes uses encryption to handle all payment transactions, so it is as safe as shopping on Amazon or eBay.
