The Randwick Botany Cycling Club is one of the oldest clubs in
Australia having been affiliated with the then, Cycling Union, in 1903. In
2003 we celebrated our Centenary year with our
Centenary Race day and Mega Dinner party. A strong social theme exists
between our considerable members. Year 2003 saw our membership swell
beyond 150 members. We have a new major sponsor for 2010, being Brennan
IT.
Our membership has exceeded expectations and has approaches 300
members as of late 2010. We are very lucky in that we are one of
only a few clubs with our own clubhouse. The clubhouse consists of an
administration area, kiosk, showers, toilets and shower facilities. The
clubhouse assists in facilitating the great social atmosphere of the club and
the great rapport and comradeship between the club members. It is great to
sit down after racing amongst friends, enjoying a tea or coffee and a sandwich
perhaps, and regaling friends with the highlights of the race. Sometimes
such stories seem more exciting than the Tour De France (especially from the
story teller's perspective).
The kiosk is well stocked with everything from tea and coffee to
soft drinks, sports drinks & ice creams and a range of food from basic
confectionary to fresh sandwiches. Every now and then we even put on a
barbeque.
The club caters for all types of rider who wishes to pursue the
sport of cycling in either a recreational or competive atmosphere. We
cater for the social rider through to the serious racer. We conduct
training rides, fun events, individual & team time trial events, hill
climbs, criterium and road racing events (click
here for more details). Racing is conducted on the
Heffron Park criterium
circuit every Saturday throughout the year in a safe and friendly
environment. To ensure your safety we have marshals situated around the
course who are in contact via two way radio. Accredited First Aid
personnel are on hand every week also.
2010 sees us with a very young but blossoming Junior membership, The club has
produced, International professional riders, World and Olympic champions.
We have 2 current UCI World Masters track champions in the club.
