News – 57th Wally Gimber Trophy

Sunday 20th March 2016

The Dulwich Paragon promotion is one of the longest running races on the calendar and has riders from across the country travelling to Kent. The winner of the race will find their name listed on the trophy alongside former winners who include Simon Cope, Tony Gibb and Sir Bradley Wiggins.

The Wally Gimber Trophy is awarded in memory of Wally Gimber, a life long club member. Wally Gimber was an active Dulwich Paragon member in the 1940s and excelled on the local Herne Hill track. In 1948-9 he was the London centre 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 winner include Sir Bradley Wiggins; multiple world champion, Olympic gold medallist and Tour de France winner. Three-times winners are Tony Gibb and Simon Cope.
