BEACON WHEELERS
ABOUT US

About Us

Beacon Wheelers was reformed in May 2010 by former member Raymond Powley the club was founded in 1926 but disbanded in 1958. Beacon Wheelers had a long history of Grass track racing as many of it's former members raced & won races all over the North West of England & Scotland from 1926 to 1958, the current members are looking to emulate the past Beacon Wheelers riders.

Raymond Powley brought Beacon Wheelers back to life by organising a weekly grass track coaching sessions in May 2010 at Frenchfield Penrith where we encouraged new riders of all ages & abilities to participate. By the end of the 2020 we are hoping to have over 100 members which we are looking to grow over the coming years to become a Cumbria's most successful cycling club.

With the help & support from Eden District Council,  Beacon Wheeler's have secured the use of a 300m grass track & a grassed skills area at Frenchfield Sport Centre, Penrith which is used for our Thursday night coaching sessions.

To enable our members to race we are affiliated to to following: British Cycling, Cycling Time Trials, British School Cycling Association, CDNW Road Race League (2012) & CTC.
