The inaugural Prudential RideLondon-Surrey 100 takes place on Sunday, August 4th, Swindon Wheelers have the chance to take part in the Club Challenge, team of 4 to complete the 100 mile course together in the best possible time (more than one team allowed) Any body interested contact Paul Wood via email; pwood481@aol.com.

British Cycling's SW recreational Manager Brain Johnston is lined to to be the guest speaker at Swindon Bug's forum event in January. The event gives you a chance to hear what SBC has done with LSTF funds in regards to cycling in 2012 and what its plans are for the future. We are also holding a workshop to plan events for Swindon Bike Week 15-23 June 2013.

It is hoped the Wheelers would be able to hold some event to attract some of the growing numbers of cyclists in Swindon to the club and to road cycling in general.

British Cycling would like to invite you to the Wiltshire Weekender (known last year as the Twinings Pro-Am Tour), which takes place on 11-12 August 2012 and features the Salisbury Sportive on the Saturday and the finale of the British Cycling Premier Calendar series on the Sunday.
