The Irish Veteran Cyclists' Association (IVCA) is now open for business, with applications welcome for membership for the 2025 season. The association organises races - road, TT, track - and leisure events for men aged 40 years and older and women 35 years and older.
In recent years, demand has been so high to get into the organisation, and avail of all it has to offer, many who have applied have not been successful.
However, the membership process is now officially open, though it closes at midnight on November 24th. And there are some conditions you need to comply with in your application.
You can apply by filling out the form at this link which asks for your basic details, but also the names and contact details of two people who will provide references for you. If you are applying to join, the IVCA asks you to have two of its current members as referees.

You will also need to state your level of previous race experience and agree to comply with a main condition of membership; that you will be willing to undertake marshal duties three times during the year. That includes at the Wicklow 200 - which is owned and organised by IVCA - as well as at a road race and TT.
