Yearly membership dues for the Peninsula Cycle Club are payable as of the first of each year. Existing members pay $25 to renew, while new members who joined between July 1 and September 30, 2014, pay a prorated fee of $12.50. New members who joined after October 1 pay nothing for their 2015 renewal (their memberships are automatically renewed).

Select this link to determine how much you should pay to renew your membership.

We're encouraging PenCC members to pay their renewal fee online via PayPal using the appropriate "Buy Now" button bellow. Please note that we've added the PayPal processing fee to this renewal transaction ($25 renewal = $26.03 with PayPal fee, $12.50 renewal = $13.16).

You don't need a PayPal account to renew your membership online, just select one of the buttons below, then select the "Pay with a debit or credit card, or PayPal Credit" link at the bottom-right of the page; you can then pay with your debit/credit card.

Use this button if your renewal fee is $25.00:

 

Use this button if your renewal fee is $12.50:

 

There are plenty of reasons to renew:

• This is a vibrant, growing club with over 230 members
• You get invited to club events.
• You get a 20% discount on all regularly priced services, parts, apparel and accessories at The Bike Palace (the discount alone can pay for the membership).
• It’s a great group of people. Their joy of riding is infectious!
• You can buy the magnificent club kit at near cost.
• Participate in yearly group purchases of Specialized and Cannondale gear and bicycles at significant discount.

If you've never been a member of the PenCC and wish to join, you should follow the instructions for new members on the club's Membership page.

If you'd prefer not to renew through PayPal, you can still mail or drop off a check payable to Bike Palace/PenCC:

San Pedro, CA 90731

Tony Jabuka Elected Chief Director

Tony knew that SOMEBODY had to run for PenCC Chief Director. Mark Abercrombie was stepping down and nobody had stepped up to fill his shoes. Those of you who know Tony also know that the club owes him a huge debt of gratitude for the time and expense he contributes to the club, particularly during the Steve Hartt San Pedro to San Diego club ride and the club's major fundraiser, the Torrance Criterium.

As it turned out, Tony stepped up to the task. Congratulations to all the newly elected officers! Also elected:

Position	New Officer
Membership Director	Bob Applegate
Secretary	Rochelle Tomic
Treasurer	Jennie Enriquez
Race Director	Francisco Gonzalez
Events Director	Erin Pierson
Ride Director	Open

We need your help! This year’s Torrance Criterium is on May 18, so it’s time to step up and volunteer! This bike race is our primary fundraiser for the year.

We need help starting now with sponsorship recruiting. There are multiple levels of sponsorships available. For more information on sponsorship levels, download the sponsor sell sheet: http://peninsulacc.com/images/sponsor sell sheet 3-6-14.pdf.

Other tasks we need help with over the upcoming months include: race card distribution at bicycle races (x4 volunteers), flyer delivery to course businesses (x2), tow-away notification placement on cars parked on the course (x1), and course sweeping (x6).

On race day we need help with: course marshals (x10), race registration (x5), prize coordination (x2), event setup (x6) and event cleanup (x6).

Putting on a race this size requires the concerted effort of a large team. We need your help to make this race successful. Any effort you can make will be greatly appreciated.

It's a fun day, and we'll even feed you lunch! To sign up or ask questions contact Bob Applegate at 310-782-5589 or This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .

Setup is one hour (6-7AM)
Course Marshall is five hours (7-12PM and 12-5PM)
Clean-up is one hour (4-5PM) - might be 4:30-5:30PM
Course sweeping is about 2-3 hours the day before (until we lose the light)
