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

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!

For 17 weeks over the summer, Monday Nights @ Corkagh has been a fixture on the calendar. Started by Dave Mc 4 years ago, it has become a stepping stone for many into cycling and into racing. For others it has been a key part of their training programme. For others is just a good laugh and a bit of exercise on a warm summers evening. Read on for a round up of the 2019 series....

2019 saw Scott-Orwell Wheelers return to Strathallan with two teams in the Youth Tour of Scotland, a tough 3 day - 4 stage race. As always they pulled together as a team both on and off the bike and once again they have come together to give us a flavour of their weekend away. Chapeau guys!
