Club History
Minimize

Established in 1891 in Cape Town as City Cycling & Athletic Club. Yes, the club did have a vibrant athletic section as well. Today the main interest of the club is Cycling, but the athletics section will be re-established if we get any athletes into the club. The club caters for cyclists from all walks of life, with interest in all disciplines of cycling and is based at Green Point Stadium. The City Council sadly has dug up parts of the cycling track to enhance the athletics facilities, leaving us without our traditional 'home' track. The club is affiliated to the Western Province Cycling Association (WPCA), which is in turn affiliated to the national body, The South African Cycling Federation (SACF). The SACF in turn is affiliated to the World Cycling Body, the UCI.Regular events are held. As a WPCA affiliated club, the club organises 2 road races and 2 track meets per year and is open to all SACF registered cyclists. Regular club races are held, which are restricted to club members. There is a very impressive collection of silverware for which club riders compete. Monthly meetings are held on the first Monday of every month. Cyclists are encouraged to attend these meetings. The AGM is held on the first Monday in March each year. Members are encouraged to make themselves available for selection for the numerous posts necessary to facilitate the smooth running of the club.
