Leicestershire Road Club

The Leicestershire Road Club is a cycling club in Leicester, England.[1] The club has produced European and world champions.

Formation and early history

The Leicestershire Road Club is the oldest cycling club in Leicestershire. It was formed from the remnants of the Syston and Belgrave Clubs of Leicester.[2]

According to the Club's records, it was formed following a meeting of twelve cyclists held on 19 February 1909 at the Bell Hotel, 26 Humberstone Gate, Leicester. The original name was 'The Leicestershire Road Clubs and Records Association'. This was modified to Leicestershire Road Club two weeks later. The first chairman was Mr H.E. Winks. At a general meeting on 16 April 1909, Mr Hales was nominated to be the first president, but never took office. Mr H.E. Winks became president at the first annual general meeting the following year.[3]

World and European champions

Ex-member Colin Sturgess, who has been inducted into the British Cycling 'Hall of Fame',[4] became the 1989 world professional pursuit champion, over 5,000 m.[5] Colin also came 4th in the 1988 Seoul Olympics Pursuit, over 4,000 m.[6]

Club members Lucy Garner and Dan McLay are both junior world champions. On 15 August 2010, McLay became Junior World Madison track champion.[7] Then, on 23 September 2011, Garner became junior world women's road race champion.[8]

In July 2012, Garner won three European titles, in the Junior Women's scratch race,[9] in the Junior Women's road race,[10] and as part of the Junior Women's pursuit team (with Elinor Barker and Amy Roberts).[11] In September 2012, Lucy Garner retained her World Junior Women's Road race title.
