History Of The Sharks Triathlon Club
The Sharks Cycling and Triathlon Club was initially formed in 2000 when the Victoria Point Sharks Sporting Club contacted Colin and Julie Cornelius who were the proprietors of the Cycle Scene bike shop in Victoria Point, to determine whether there was any local interest in starting up a Cycling Club. With their involvement the Sharks Cycling Club was formed and aligned itself with Cycling Queensland. The growth in popularity of triathlon within the Redlands (especially fostered by the very successful running of the Raby Bay triathlon) initiated a growth in club members that were triathletes.
A requirement of Cycling Queensland stipulated that all members of not only the Cycling Club, but also the entire Sharks Sporting Club be members of Cycling Qld made the decision to discontinue the clubs association with Cycling Qld an easy one. The Club then turned it's focus towards the tremendous popularity that triathlon was experiencing and developed training sessions that promoted the sport of triathlon.
From this point onwards the club has been known as the “Sharks Triathlon Club”.
