About US The Becontree Wheelers membership is drawn mainly from East London and South West Essex although we do have members who live as far away as Manchester, Reading and Norwich. The club caters for all cycling disciplines. Our present strength lies in Time Trialling, where members have won Team prizes in a number of local events in the past few years.
Our list of promotions is impressive. The Romford-Harlow Road race is well established early season event for Elite and other senior categories. The 2000 edition was included on the BCF Premier Calendar. Its organisational team, led by Alan Sanders, and in association with the Harlow CC, has won extensive praise from riders and officials alike.
Two open 25 mile Time Trials are held in June on fast Essex courses.
The popular Friday evening 10 mile Time Trial series is held on the E14A course. Organised in an informal manner, members of other clubs are always welcome to enter on the line and are eligible for a "Supporters" prize for the highest number of rides by a non-Becontree member in the season. The series also provides two separate competitions for club riders, one based on times and the other on finishing positions.
See our "Events" page on the Web Site for details of these and other promotions.
The club is prominent in Cycling administration. In the past our members have served on the national committees of the BCF. Currently, Alan Sanders is the Chairman of BCF Essex Division and Arthur Harragan is one of its Auditors.
