Club rides are hosted by Burg Wheelers Cycling Club during the week (early mornings and afternoons) with longer weekend rides held on Saturdays.

Burg Wheelers Cycling Club has hosted very popular Road, Track and MTB races over the years; catering for all cyclists from elites to fun riders.

Founded
in 1983.

Burg Wheelers Cycling Club (BWCC) was founded in 1983 from the merging of two prominent cycling clubs in Pietermaritzburg: Maritzburg United Cycling Club (MUCC) and Wanderers Cycling Club (WCC).

MUCC boasts several Springbok Cyclists from the 1970’s: Robbie McIntosh (5 times winner of the Rapport Tour) and Ralph Smout (multiple SA Sprint and SA 1000m Time-trial champion) and WCC boasts Bobby Nefdt (SA Junior Road Champion and SA Elite Road Champion).

Burg Wheelers Cycling Club has grown to become one of the largest and oldest cycling clubs in KwaZulu-Natal, boasting a pre-covid membership of just over 300 cyclists, of all age groups, genders and cycling ability.
