Historical information

Geelong Cycling Veterans Club was formed in 1971 but GWCC still conducted veteran races within the club. These medals appear to be remnants of awards not collected.

Significance

Medals have always been awarded in recognition of achievement in competitive events. Even after 20+ years of veteran racing, the club still conducted veteran races which seems to indicate a large number older members were affiliated with the club.

Physical description

The front of the medals depict an olive wreath around the circumference, and has a racing cyclist painted on an enamel disk in the centre.
