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.

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.
