Welcome to

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 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.

Catherine Mahoney was only new to racing in 2018 when she signed up for the Orwell Wheelers-Appleby Jewellers Women's League. She has come a very long way since then and last week took overall victory in the A Race at the new Appleby Women's Evening Stage Race. Catherine has very kindly taken some time out to write a report on the event and her journey to the top step of the podium. It is definitely worth a read!

We welcome the revised government guidelines announced on 29/4//2021 that signal a return to club training activities in the coming weeks. It's been a long winter for everyone cycling alone or indoors without the company of our clubmates and friends. The support from club members for the government guidelines over the last year has been fantastic and thankfully we will now all enjoy the opportunity to reap the rewards of everyone's efforts and look forward to a summer of club cycling again.
