Formed way back last century in 1932 (May 19th to be precise!) Southborough and District Wheelers has been around a while!. The principal aim of the new club was to provide racing for its members, and this was a strong aspect in the years prior to 1939. Several local successes culminated in the beating of the competition record at 200 miles by John Fuller in 1938. Touring was also undertaken, led by Percy Howard amongst others. Ladies were admitted to the club from 1934 onwards.

The Early Years

The club ceased to function in 1940, but John Fuller and Les Horsfield were prime movers in reforming it in 1946, with the primary interest in touring. John Fuller was Club Captain, by the time he retired the club was well on its feet. He left a major memento in the form of the S&DW Gazette, which has been published regularly ever since.

Despite a growing interest in time-trialling, and some local grass track racing, the new Captain, Alan (Lou) Bathurst, extended the touring side. He organised bank holiday tours, and established the Touring Competition, in which you can still compete today to win the Club Tourist Trophy. 

The 1950’s: Time Trialling to the Fore

Time-trialling activities grew rapidly over the years. In the 1950's an emphasis was put on team racing, notably at the longer distances, winning the KCA BAR in 1956. The club has seen a number of successes over the years, at local and county level. Along with participation the club has always been a keen promoter of Open events, shorter distance time-trials, and road races being promoted to this day.

The 2000’s: 

 Whilst time-trialling still remains at the core of the club's racing activities, there has been a growing interest and successes in road and track racing, notably with the club winning the Surrey League Team Championship in 2004.

2006 saw a slight decline in road and track racing, however time-trialling continues to have a strong interest and saw the club take the KCA BAR Chamionship, 50 years after last winning it! 

The club also became a British Cycling "Go-ride" club, running cycling courses for 8-12 yr olds at local schools.

Club members have also been prominent in the administration of the sport. Lou Bathurst was active at regional and national level, and Warwick Dunford and Les Hayman carry this tradition on today.
