Peel District Cycling Club (Inc)
•The Club was formed in the late 1980’s by a group of a dozen like minded people interested in forming a local cycle racing club in the Peel District of Western Australia. Since then the club has grown to its present size of more than 130 members, of which 80 are competitively active. The Club takes its name from the original Peel District which stretched from Pinjarra to Kwinana taking in all of Mandurah and most of Rockingham. Geographically, membership is split roughly one half Rockingham, one quarter Mandurah/Pinjarra and the remaining quarter made up of members from the Serpentine Jarrahdale Shire, Bunbury and south metropolitan areas.
•The Club runs a comprehensive racing program covering at least 45 weeks of the year. The racing program is a mixture of Road Racing, Time Trials and Criterium Racing and includes the running of at least six major open events each year. •The Club has always been at the leading edge of competitiveness and during the last few years has excelled with the achievements of one of the younger members, Peter Dawson, in becoming a Commonwealth Games Gold Medallist, World Record Holder, World Champion and the breaking of the World Record on two occasions
The Club has an extremely popular social touring group based in the Rockingham area and riding twice weekly for local sightseeing and coffee stops. The group rides Wednesdays and Sundays and is usually well attended.
