SIW Club Jersey

Welcome to the Southern Indiana Wheelmen Bicycle Club!
Home of the Harvest Homecoming Bicycle Tour!

We've been riding the beautiful roads of Clark, Floyd, Harrison, Scott and Washington Counties (to name a few) since 1975. We support all aspects of safe cycling in our local community, the state of Indiana and the nation.
We hope to see YOU soon!




REMEMBERING STEVE MERKER

Club member Steve Merker passed on May 2nd. Steve and his spouse, Sharon, rode tandem often, and Steve also rode his single bikes. The Merkers hosted the Chili Ride, and also overseas rides. Click here to see Steve's memorial page. Thank you, Ron and Malvery McKim for photos and memories.

You can also check out our MEMORIALS PAGE. If you have additions and/or corrections for any memorials page, please contact the webmaster so we can remember our departed clubmates.




IS YOUR NEW ROUTE ALREADY IN THE LIBRARY?

You've found a neat ride in the Ride With GPS file and want to see if it's in the Route Library. Now you can check with our new GPS Finder, which is also under the &#quot;ROUTES&#quot; tab. If it isn't, fear not! Just contact the webmaster here with the Ride With GPS number. If you have a cue sheet, send it. Otherwise the webmaster will create it for you.




HARVEST HOMECOMING TOUR JERSEYS ARE STILL AVAILABLE

We still have limited quantities of our short sleeve Harvest Homecoming Jersey available at Clarksville Schwinn. See larger image here.
