Welcome to Scott-Orwell Wheelers Cycling Club

Cycling Ireland 2018 Club of the Year

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.

I had first heard of the Seashell Trust Sportive in 2016. The idea was to tie it in with a visit to my mate Rory in Manchester. It all came together for 2019 for what turned out to be an epic 170km in the Peak District!

It’s not an homage to the principals or principles of overbearing commercial teams. It’s a test of individual racing skills, of courage, of strength, of absolute heroism, of blind optimism, of faith, hope and doggedness."  Dave Fitz took on the legend that is The Tour of Flanders last Spring, read all about it here...
