Welcome to

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 had its roots in road racing but has become very active in many other areas including leisure riding, audaxing, randonnée events, cyclocross and track racing. We run organised weekly training spins most of the year.  From January 2022 we are delighted to be supported by our partner sponsor Pinergy

A big weekend of racing for kids from Ireland and abroad took place this weekend in Derry and Donegal. The biggest fields of the year so far (over 50 Under 16 boys, most other fields 20 or more) in Ireland, with a good smattering of riders from The Isle of Man and Britain, was a real festival of youth racing, and our Orwell Youths were a major part of it all.

Three Orwells – Fran Brophy, Simon Kelehan and John McElligott - signed up for the 2022 Tour of Monaghan on 10th of July.  Fine weather was forecast, and while it was the weekend prior to the “glorious twelfth” over the border, this wasn’t a concern in County Monaghan where the route was excellent, the event well organised, the weather was perfect and the locals friendly.

Saturday 14 May 2022 saw the return of the Orwell One Day Youth Stage Race in the enclosed circuit at Corkagh Park

The event was open to all U10, U12, U14 and U16 boys and girls, with everyone taking part in three stages:

Time trial: one lap of the Corkagh Park track

Scratch race: because of numbers, girls joined the boys at each age level, but were marked separately

  • U10: 4 laps
  • U12: 15 minutes plus 1 lap
  • U14: 25 minutes plus 1 lap
  • U16: 35 minutes plus 3 laps

Elimination races on the small lap, with separate races for U14 and U16 boys and girls

Results below ...

Orwell's Club League moved to Corkagh Park for the past three weeks, where some high octane racing blew off the winter cobwebs. While some of the club's seasoned racers acquitted themselves well, it was a number of up and coming youth riders who stole the limelight.

Orwell Wheelers entered a team for the Youth Tour of Scotland, one of the most exciting youth racing events going, this year. While our boys were disappointed not to get an entry, we did send a strong team of four girls over to Perth: Áine Reilly, Rhiannon Dolan, Mya Doocey and Hannah Hayes.

Here's what happened ... thanks to Áine for such a detailed and interesting report: plenty to learn about riding as part of a team, rather than just for yourself, in this one!
