The Welwyn Wheelers Cycling Club is one of the premier cycling clubs in the South East of England and is accredited with Clubmark and British Cycling’s Go-ride status. Based at the Gosling Sports Park our key aim is to enable its members to participate in and promote cycling and cycle racing. The banked velodrome at the Sports Park affords us a unique opportunity to fulfil this aim.

The Welwyn Wheelers organise a variety of open races and open race meetings during the year. The foremost of these is the weekly track series which takes place on Friday evenings at the floodlit velodrome. We also promote several weekend track meetings, grass track meetings, a 50km individual hilly time trial held at Easter, an open road race and an open cyclocross competition held later in the year.

Club events include individual 10 mile time trials, a hill climb and a cyclocross competition. The time trials are open to both club members and visitors and are held every Tuesday on a local course. The hill climb takes place in October again on local roads while the cyclocross is held in December at the Sports Park.

We have regular training sessions through out the year. The club organises a Go-Ride session on Saturday mornings to provide skills training for riders (all ages welcome). These sessions are open to both club and non-club members. Cyclocross training starts in October together with ‘road bikes’ on the track. Club runs, which cater for riders with at least a modest level of fitness, start on the first Sunday in October. More intensive training on local roads starts in January. As part of the summers training programme, the club provides track coaching for all ages and specialised track bikes for hire for a small fee.

The club also runs a number of social activities such as mountain bike rides, treasure hunts and speed judging. Our annual Prize presentation is held after the club cyclocross in December.
