Gopher Wheelmen Cycling Club

Gopher Wheelmen Cycling Club The Gopher Wheelmen, (GW) is a cycling club based in the Twin Cities, MN, founded in 1934. Ken remained a major contributor to bicycle racing since those days.

We are an active cycling club, sponsoring the Ken Woods Memorial Road race and the Red Barn Cyclocross race. About our Club:

The Gopher Wheelmen, (GW) is the oldest cycling club in this part of the country. Our Founder:

GW was founded in 1934 by Ken Woods (6/19/1918 – 10/11/00). Bicycle racing was at a peak and Ken was a top rider in the six-day racing scene. The ‘KW” on our jerseys is in recogn

ition of Ken’s contributions to the club and the sport. Much of what we have today is because of his stewardship and endless hours of volunteer effort. GW today:

GW continues to take pride in our contribution and volunteerism to the sport by sponsoring two annual races: The Ken Woods Memorial Road Race (formerly Sogn Valley) and the Red Barn Classic Cross Race. Membership:

Our membership is currently at 80. We have a strong representation of masters racers (35 plus). We have a growing women’s and junior’s team. All GW members are treated equally without regard to racing category
