Non Resident Racing Policy, Cycling British Columbia

Cycling BC is affiliated to the Union Cycliste International through our membership in the Canadian
Cycling Association. International and national regulations require that our association uphold the
license regulations of the UCI and respect the license requirements of other national federations.
Given the close proximity of US cities to the Canadian border, the Canadian Cycling Association has
requested that we remain cognizant of all regulations pertaining to participation of US residents in
races sanctioned by Cycling BC. The following information is provided to assist clubs and race
organizers determine the race eligibility of non-residents.

1. UCI License Holders: A rider holding a 2007 UCI Race License regardless of origin are
eligible to participate in any race in British Columbia that is sanctioned at a multi-club level
or higher.

2. USA Cycling Regulations: USA Cycling requires US residents to hold a UCI License
before competing in races outside the USA. Consequentially, a rider holding a Domestic
Race License (USCF, NORBA) or a non UCI License (e.g. ORBA license) can NOT
participate in any sanctioned or club level event in British Columbia, this existing policy is
referenced on the USA Cycling website:

3. Non Resident Medical Coverage: Non-residents of Canada are ineligible for Accidental
Death & Dismemberment Insurance Coverage under the Cycling BC/Canadian Cycling
Association policy. Consequentially, riders that hold a UCI License issued by another
country (USA, Mexico, etc) are required to provide proof of medical insurance valid outside
of their country or residence to Race Organizers prior to competing in a race.

4. Club Activities & Membership: As non-residents of Canada are ineligible for AD&D
coverage from our insurance program, US residents are ineligible to become members of
clubs affiliated with Cycling BC (i.e. Associate Members).

5. Race Sanction Level: As US Residents are not eligible for Club Memberships, Race
Organizers must sanction their race at the Multi Club level or higher if they wish to open
registration to non-residents and those non-residents must hold a 2007 UCI Race License.

6. Commercial Event Insurance: the purchase of a Commercial Event Insurance by a club or
race organizer does not provide the clubs or race organizer with the ability to allow
participation from non-residents of Canada.
