02Organization
Theo van der Westerlaken
Since 1971 the competition was organized by Theo van der Westerlaken (1949, 14 July 2020), the son of the founder of Acht van Chaam. For his works he was awarded by the Royal Dutch Cycling Union with the "Gouden Wiel" (translated: Golden Wheel) in July 2020. A week later van der Westerlaken died on 14 July due to an illness, aged 71. A plaque on the cycling monument opposite his house in the center of Chaam will be placed by the board of Acht van Chaam.
