If members continue to train or partake of social rides, all precautions advised by government agencies should be observed. As you are aware, these official precautions are changing quite often.
We are lucky that generally cycling is a non-contact sport, but please take all precautions regarding social distancing (no touching, lots of hand sanitizer, avoid close personal contact at the coffee shop).
We want all our members to be fit and healthy when we come out the other side of this nightmare!

About our Club
The Hamilton Wheelers Cycling Club was formed in 1908 when it was known as Hamilton Amateur Wheelers and has conducted competition cycle races since then.
We conduct criterium races at the Albert Bishop Park Criterium Course at Hedley Ave Nundah which is also the site of the HPRW Clubhouse, and at Lakeside Park (previously known as Lakeside International Raceway) the home of many great car and motorcycle races in the past. During the winter season we conduct road races (both scratch race and handicaps), time trials and a hill climb at various open road locations such as Closeburn (near Samford), Elimbah, Pine Dam, Somerset Dam and Mt Mee.
Getting started in competitive cycling is easy. To race you need to be a member of a Queensland cycling club and also have a Cycling Australia race licence. You can join a club and obtain a licence online through through the Cycling Australia Membership HQ or click the button below or alternatively contact our club secretary directly who can help you complete and application form and accept your affiliation fee. If you are not sure about it and just want to give it a go you may purchase a temporary licence to try it out. The 3 race temporary licence is the best value.
Click HERE to join as a racing member. There are options for different age riders, and also the option to pay monthly. Schedule of costs is below.
Click HERE to Purchase a Race Starter Kit. This membership is only for people who have not held a race membership with Cycling Australia previously. It offers the opportunity for people to try out racing (club races only) for two months from the date of purchase. During the two month period, you can race with any club that supports this product (as many times as you like) noting normal race participation fees apply. Should Cycling Australia identify that you have held a race membership previously, you will be charged a full 12 months race membership. Note that a Race Starter Kit in not membership with a cycling club (Hamilton or otherwise) so you are not eligible for Club only events (such as interclub or club championship races).
