We are a cycling club for both men and women that operates out of the
Dundrum area in Dublin catering to all levels of fitness and ability -
from beginners to elite riders. The club has a strong road racing history
but is also involved in other areas including leisure riding, randonnee,
touring and track. Orwell currently has over 150 members. We have organised
weekly spins throughout most of the year which are designed to improve
your skill and fitness or get you ready to compete during racing season.

Joe Daly Cycles in Dundrum every Sunday at 9:30am sharp. Check out our club spin requirements and etiquette and technique.
