For the duration of World War 2
It was reformed on Monday March 25th. 1946 and has continued to date with a drop in membership to three members in the early Seventies.

Membership was 5 shillings, which is equivalent to 25p today.
Who Are We?
We are the local cycling club for the Haverhill area. We have a membership of approx. 25 members ranging from 10 years old to early 70's. We have members who race regularly and others who ride purely for pleasure. We also have members who no longer ride their bikes but enjoy being part of the ;cyclist fraternity and who regularly help out and support the Haverhill Wheelers throughout the year.

What do we do?
We promote 2-3 races per year for members of other cycling clubs to compete in (at race level).
We promote a series of evening time trials (races against the watch) between the months of April and August over distances between 10 miles and 20 miles. These evening races start at 19-00hrs from a start and finish point on the Cowlinge road 200 yards from the junction with the A143. ( Near to Highpoint Prison. )
People of all abilities can ride these and on any type of bicycle. (There is a nominal entry fee of £2.00 per ride for non-club members)
