Managing your email address with AHBC for members

When you log on the AHBC cyclearlington.com website, you can access portions of the website which are only available to AHBC members. This includes your membership information

  1. Use the Login button to log into your account via the Sign In Button. You need your email address and password. If you don't know your password, the membership chair can reset it for you, Send an email to membership@cyclearlington.com and ask for your password, be patient we are volunteers, this might take a few days. After the Membership Chair gives you a password, we recommend changing it so only you know the password.

  • Now that you've checked your spam folder and are sure it isn't there, search your email for the phrase: ahbccyclists
  • If you have a yahoo id, log into yahoo.com and look at https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/ahbccyclists where all email ever sent to the group is available
  • Ask the membership chair to check the bouncing email in the yahoo group and see if your email is stuck in transit
  • We know that some members have had issues with receiving email from the group and have never been able to diagnose the core issue. Talk to the most IT literate person you know and see if they can help you diagnose the issue.
