The Gopher Wheelmen, (GW) is the oldest cycling club in this part of the country.



Our Founder:



GW was founded in 1934 by Ken Woods (6/19/1918 - 10/11/00). Bicycle racing was at a peak and Ken was a top rider in the six-day racing scene. The ‘KW” on our jerseys is in recognition of Ken’s contributions to the club and the sport.



Ken remained a major contributor to bicycle racing since those days. Much of what we have today is because of his stewardship and endless hours of volunteer effort.



GW today:



GW continues to take pride in our contribution and volunteerism to the sport. David Laporte, GW member, was awarded the first annual Ken Woods Trophy (2000) for his excellence in providing quality service to the sport of bicycle racing. David is the promoter of 2 huge events: The Touchstone Energy Festival and the MN State Campus Criterium. GW actively volunteers in both events.



GW continues to sponsor our annual road race: The Ken Woods Memorial Race (formerly Sogn Valley).
