Queen City Wheels was founded in 1972 as a non-profit racing club promoting cycling races and riders in the greater Cincinnati area. www.qcw.org

We are affiliated with USA Cycling, the governing body for amateur, professional and Olympic cycling in the United States. We hope to help all members reach their competitive cycling goals. The Queen City Wheels’ mission is to promote the sport of bicycle racing throughout the Cincinnati area. We offer the opportunity to experience bike racing through multiple disciplines for the beginner and the advanced rider. Team QCW member benefits include, a dynamic group of likeminded individuals to race with, entry fee reimbursements, free team clothing, free race photographs by Cincinnati’s premier cycling sports photographer, discounts and priority servicing at Montgomery Cyclery, and free entry to all QCW events.

Five years ago at Kings CX, watch for Wrong Way Tom at 0:23! (I was reminded of this today when Tom got tangled up and ended up facing the wrong way after the boars.)

The first day of Fall arrived in Cleves with unseasonably cool temperatures and a steady light rain. We still had 12 determined riders who refused to let a little rain get in the way of some good old fashioned high-intensity training! Unfortunately, the weather did not allow for any new Personal Best times.

A big welcome to Nick Holdren who made his very first attempt on the hallowed Cleves course last evening, turning in a very respectable time riding "Merckx-style" on his classic steel steed!

Next Tuesday, 9/29, is our 2026 grand finale. If you haven’t yet been out to Cleves this year, you don’t want to miss this one. You certainly don’t want to spend the entire winter lamenting and grieving for having missed an entire season of self-induced pain and suffering!

Thanks as always to Ginny Lenahan for helping at the Start/Finish line.

REMINDER! The first rider will go off next Tuesday a half hour earlier (at 6:30) in order for us to finish before dark.

A big shout out to Michael Folan and the folks (and dog) at Infinit Nutrition for again supporting our riders with great fluid and nutrition replacements at the Shawnee Pebble Pounder.

2027 date has been set for the last Sunday in August, the 29th.

We have only two more Cleves Time Trial events for the 2026 season – tonight 9/22 and next Tuesday 9/29! That means there are only two more opportunities to set a new personal best for the year. Here are the results from last week.

The heat and humidity combined for an especially hot experience! Consequently, there were no PRs and most times were 20-30 seconds slower than usual.

We had two DNFs due to flats. I don’t ever recall two riders flatting on the same night. Hopefully, this is not a trend!

I neglected to mention that Tony Alexander set a PR last week, shaving another 15 seconds from his previous best time. Congratulations to Tony!

Thanks to Ginny for assisting.

Also, please make note that we will set the first rider off one half hour earlier at 6:30 PM on the final TT (9/29) due to diminishing sunlight.
