The Lethbridge Headwinds Cycling Club was formed in 1986 by a number of local Southern Alberta riders wishing to formally organize cycling activities in the area. This club began rebranding as the Headwinds Cycling Club in 2017 and continues its evolution into the future.
The objectives of this non-profit organization are to promote the sport of cycling in Southern Alberta and to provide involvement for members in all aspects and levels of bicycle road racing, touring (recreation and transportation), mountain biking, and triathlon.
