Welcome To Sydenham Wheelers Cycling Club
Catford Hill Climb 2011
The Catford Hill Climb has been running since 1887 and apparently is the oldest continuing bike race in the world. Naturally a race with so much
history and prestige attracts a quality field, and if you needed convincing when you realise that a rider who held the King Of The Mountains jersey at this years
Tour Of Britain came 7th (Russell Hampton - Sigma Sport Specialized Pro Cycling Team) then you can be sure this in no shabby collection of riders!
Sydenham were done proud by Derek Taylor and Robert Robbins who battled their way up Yorks Hill, through the crowds and round the photographers
hunched on the tarmac to record 61st (11th Vet) and 42nd (7th Vet) respectively out of over 100 finishers. Top drawer performances!
Next year we should encourage the Catford to introduce a Gurning Competition, judging by the photo of Rob attached he's definitely in with a shout. There should also be some sort of handicap system introduced - Dels 'Boxers Arms' are clearly a disadvantage in this event and worthy of a good few seconds.
Club TTs - Entry Price Goes Up
- posted 19-01-2012
London South DC have put the rider levy for club TTs up this year which unfortunately means that entry for our club events will need to increase as well. So for the coming season the entry fee for a club TT will be £4.

The club reliability is only four weeks away. Route sheets are available below. Hopefully as many people as possible will make it and as always helpers at the hall and out on the course are required and much appreciated!
