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.
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.
Membership for 2018 is currently closed. This will be reviewed in October. There will be women's beginner courses during the year, please keep an eye on the site for more information.

Tales from The Bogman!
- Details
It’s slightly unfortunate that the name has a slightly comical edge to it, because the Bogman 2-Day is definitely no joke! Not only is this one of the best stage races that I’ve taken part in this year due to the quality of the field, but every aspect of the race was first class. Definitely more top-man than bog-man. Michael Hanley heads west and lives to tell the tale!
Luke conquers Gaelforce West!
- Details
Gaelforce West is a race that most people have heard about, and represents the “Old Lady” of Adventure Racing in Ireland. It’s a 6 Stage Point-To-Point race starting in the stunning Killary Fjord in Galway. This year Luke McMullan took on the challenge and came away smiling! Read his report of how the race was won... (warning - contains words such as "running" and other "non cycling" terms!!)
National Championships Round Up
- Details
Last weekend a hardy bunch of 8 Scott Orwell Wheelers headed West to the National Championship Races in Sligo. We managed to convince (cajole) a few of them into writing a report from each of their perspectives. It makes for great reading! Well done and thanks to all

Podcast recording of this Article is available! In a town full of plain-faced, Amish-looking, possibly reptilian, humanoids, one man had freckles, this is his story. Fair Warning: Boil the kettle and clear your calendar, it’s longer than a Brachiosaurus Spinal Column.
