Welcome to Scott-Orwell Wheelers Cycling Club
Founded in 1948, Orwell Wheelers is amongst the biggest and most famous cycling clubs in Ireland. Based in Dublin, we cater to all levels of fitness and ability - from beginners to elite riders, male and female from youth to veteran. The club has traditionally had a strong focus on road racing and is also very active in many other areas including leisure riding, randonnée events and track racing. We run organised weekly training spins most of the year.
We welcome new members from October until March. Spins assemble at Joe Daly Cycles in Dundrum most Sundays with groups leaving at intervals starting from 9:00am. Check out our club spin info and requirements and etiquette and technique for further details.
Torr Hell - Take Two
- Details
Last Summer, Joe did the 180km version of the Giants Causeway Sportive. But he missed the cutoff time to finish over Torr Head. As a result, Torr Head was a bit of "unfinished business". The Titanic Torr event this April seemed like an ideal solution – a 200km Audax, starting from Belfast, with Torr Head at about 95km.
Joanne's W200
- Details
Winter 2016 brought the familiar mantra of "Winter miles brings Summer smiles" and I found myself out on the bike more frequently than expected. Initially I ignored the muttered questions about W200.
Tour De Burren Musings
- Details
On a sunny day, the cycle back from Fanore to Ballyvaughan, Co Clare with the Atlantic views on your left and the Burren on your right, must be one of the best in Ireland.
Jamie Busher: Man of the Rás 2017
- Details
As the old expression goes “time is a great healer” and that is certainly the case when Jamie decided to ride the Rás for the second consecutive year. The pain and stress of the previous year was fading, all that remained were fond memories of a fantastic week with some great people racing around Ireland in glorious sunshine.
Dolomites - "Pedala forte, mangia bene"
- Details
A little under a year ago sixteen club members blissfully unaware of what they were letting themselves in for. They signed up to go on a trip to the Dolomites. Attracted by the motto of “Pedala forte, mangia bene” - meaning cycle hard, eat well. The sixteen looked forward to idyllic days basking in the sun as the road rose gently before them and returning sated at the end of the day to a good meal and copious wine. How did they fare?
