SUNDAY: Dulwich Paragon Wally Gimber Trophy

Welcome to the 65th Wally Gimber trophy National B race. The Dulwich Paragon CC promotion is one of the longest-running races in the UK calendar.

The Wally Gimber Trophy
The trophy was awarded to the club for presentation at the annual road race by Wally Gimber, a lifelong club member. Wally was an active Dulwich Paragon member in the 1940s and excelled on the local Herne Hill velodrome. In 1948-49 he was the London track, massed start and roller champion and set a national tandem paced half mile record of 48.55 seconds. He emigrated to the US in the 1960s but returned to the UK in 1985 to present the trophy to John Shand at the club’s 50th anniversary dinner. He kept in regular touch with the club until his death in 1993.
Past winners of the trophy include Sir Bradley Wiggins; multiple world champion, Olympic gold medallist and Tour de France winner. Simon Cope and Rob Hurd have each won four editions and Tony Gibb has won three.
