The Waratah Masters Cycling Club was formed in 1994 to carry on the traditions of cycle racing at Homebush Bay, which go back to the 1950s. Our goal is to provide friendly cycle competition for men and woman masters cyclists with a special emphasis on introducing new riders to the sport.
Brief History
Since the 1950’s, Homebush Bay has fostered competitive cycling events under the banner of the Wheelmen’s Club. In 1981 this club transitioned into the Homebush Veteran Cyclists Club and in 1994 evolved into the Waratah Masters Cycling Club which welcomed cyclists from broader Sydney.
The success of the club is illustrated by its rapid growth. Waratah Masters is one of the largest cycling clubs in Australia and the biggest Masters Cycling club in New South Wales.
