Forres Cycling Club has been part of the Forres community since 1938 and was founded by: J Laurie, G McDounough, J Smith, A Fraser, J McCook, J Urquhart, J Stuart, G Forbes, J Stewart, J Gray, J Campbell, J Jameson, H Younie, Miss E Young, Miss K Reid and Miss G MacKenzie. All of whom enjoyed cycling and decided they would prefer to do it as a group. Although initially formed as a Touring Club it wasn’t long before some of the members decided to dabble in racing: Road Races, Time Trials and Grass Track. One of our most outstanding members was William (Bill) Stuart who was the first recipient of the Scottish Cyclists’ Union Gold Badge of Honour for Services to Cycling.
