The Sutherland Shire Cycling Club is a club for all riders. Last year it celebrated its sixty-fifth anniversary with a special book launch forSutherland Shire Cycling Club—A Short History, authored by local historian Dr Garry Darby. The book provides an insight into aspects of the history of Sutherland shire and speaks of not only cycling but also family history and important aspects of the shire's social history, including transport and the development of the Sutherland township. This meticulously crafted book is a testament to the club's enduring impact on our community. Within its 95 pages, adorned with captivating illustrations, the book traces the evolution of the club from its inception in 1908, when bicycle club racing was first introduced to the shire by the pioneering Mr Ted Boyle. Through various name changes and racing formats, the Sutherland Shire Cycling Club has remained steadfast in its commitment to fostering athleticism, camaraderie, and community spirit. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to Dr Garry Darby for his dedication to bring this story and history to life.
