Interested In Joining The RSF?
Who Can Join?
The RSF is open to anyone who enjoys the off road experience. If you're not interested in 'rock gardens, berms or drop-offs' but prefer a calmer, more scenic and exploratory approach to off road cycling. If you would you rather be in the wilds brewing up in a tent then we are the club for you, after all we can arguably claim to have started 'bike-packing' long before the term was coined!
Full membership is open to any individual over the age of 18 with a genuine interest in off-road cycling. Household Members and children under 18 can join at a discount but must be at least 10 years of age and live at the same address as the main member. When out on a ride all household members under 18 must be accompanied by a responsible adult or parent.
Membership for one year costs £13 in the UK, £20 if located in Europe, and £23 if you are anywhere else in the world. We also offer a 5 year option which gets you a 20% discount on the price, you can even add other members of your household for £1. Although they don't get their own copy of the Journal they do get all the other benefits 😀
Membership benefits include
* Bi-monthly RSF journal
* Members exclusive facebook group, talk to other members around the world
* Unlimited Gpx route downloads from the RSF site
* Add your own Gpx routes for other members to download
* Add your own personal ride to the 'Rides' calendar
* Put your name down for rides and be automatically updated on changes
* Add links to your favourite cafe, places to stay or almost anything else to the useful links page
What Payment Options Are There?
We are happy to accept either bank transfer or online credit /debit card or Paypal payments.
Bank transfer is our preferred method of accepting your payment as it's free of any fees, we'll send you the details for this attached to your confirmation email. Set this up once and use every year to renew your membership....so simple.
Credit card fees are lower than Paypal so, of course of the two we prefer the former. This is processed using the excellent Stripe payment gateway, in case you worry about online fraud we can assure you it's very secure.
Paypal has been around for many years now and most people have or had a Paypal account at some time or other. If you choose this option you'll be taken to a login page, at this point if you have an account, login and follow the usual process.
If you don't have an account then below the login button is another button inviting you to pay by credit card, click this. After you have made your payment you will get offered the option to create a Paypal account but there's no obligation to accept.
Whatever you choose though, we are really happy you are joining us!
Can I Join By Post?
If you are not a fan of using Paypal or a credit/debit card online then yes, it's absolutely fine. You can join using the form below and then send your cheque separately. Choose the 'cheque/cash' payment method. The payee details and address and where to send your cheque are included in a PDF attached to the email we send you after you have successfully submitted the form. If you prefer, application forms can be downloaded as a Word document or PDF page via the buttons just below, print it out, and send it with your cheque (payable to the Rough-Stuff Fellowship) to the Membership Secretary, whose address is included on the form.
