Pinergy – Orwell Wheelers is proud to announce a strong team for Rás Tailteann. Padraic O’Flynn, Cahir O’Higgins, Mark McKinley, Loughlin Campion, and Aimhirgin O Brannagain will compete over five gruelling stages of this year’s race.

Last Sunday August 25th saw 1600 competitors from all over Ireland and internationally descend on Dun Laoghaire for the 2019 Ironman 70.3 triathlon. 4 of them were from Scott Orwell, read on to hear how 4 roadies got on in this tough event!

“This is when the second crazy incident of the race happens (and within only a few minutes of the first). Pushing 55km/h, spiralling down the winding corners of the Sheeffry Pass descent on the racing line, cliff faces on one side, cliff edges on the other, Shaun goes into the tightest of the corners ahead of me and out of sight. The next second I come in and around the same corner and come across him immediately in front of me, lying on the ground, face down and completely m

Well for what should have been a relatively quiet week that was interesting!! A snowy Club League kick off, the Waller Cup, IVCA, Youth tour of Scotland and a Junior competing on an Irish Team. This bodes well for a great season ahead…..

This weekend was a big one for the club – the first round of the National Road Series and a selection race for our youths! In between were sandwiched an IVCA race and the final round of the SERC TT Series. Plenty there to keep us busy

Despite being only 3 weeks old the Racing Season feels like it is back into full swing already. This weekend we had a quiet Saturday followed by a flurry of results on Sunday – covering everything from Youths, Juniors, Seniors and Vets! G’wan The Orwell

What a weekend that was! Loads happening – we take in the Club Hill Climb Champs, the BAR, The National Youth & Track Championships and a race report from the Leinster Autumn Classic by Eoin Ahern. A write up on the Cal McCarthy Cup by Cahir O’Higgins follows as a separate article. Enjoy!

The season may be slowly coming to an end but there was still plenty of quality racing last weekend! The youths battled it out for the Leinster Road titles, National Championships on the track, the second last round of the National Points series and the Collins Christie Memorial in Navan. And of course not forgetting the battle of the teams for Team Time Trial glory in the club league!

The weekend saw two upgrades in the club – Eoin Byrne to A1 and Anthony Mulholland to A2, the youths were off road at the Cross Country mtb National Champs, the Vets were in Monesterevin and all while Dave Mc was racing around in circles at the 24hour TT in Athy!

Another busy weekend of racing but particularly for our youths who had the National Youth Track Champs on Saturday and the Mullingar GP on Sunday! The National Road Series moved to Mullingar on Sunday and we had a first in A2 and a 2nd in the Women’s race. Catch up on all the news here….

What a week for racing that was! The Club Championships including guest appearances by horses and tractors, Conor making the podium up North with a fractured wrist, Diarmuid coming into form right on time for a Championships, Breda just missing out on a podium and our youths racing at home and abroad! Read all about it here….

The season isn’t getting any quieter! This week saw two National Championship events – Criterium & Omnium, racing in Summerhill, Navan, Mullingar, Kilcullen and Mallorca! Catch up on all the results on the weekly Racing Round Up!

Another busy week as the racing season keeps ramping up! The only group not racing this weekend were the IVCA as they were busy with the Wicklow 200. This week the round up takes us from Newbridge to Roscommon, Dorey’s Forge to Roundwood with a stop off in Corkagh Park to check in on the youths…

This week it’s a Barry double header! Barry Greene recounts his adventures with Di2 in Clonmel at the 2 stage GP and Barry Redmond takes us through the IVCA league race on the “not flat” Curragh. Thanks to both for their excellent reporting. A full Rás Tailteann report will follow at a later stage.

We start the Racing Round Up this week with the Youths where we are delighted to congratulate our latest Leinster Champion! From there we head North for a few races, back to Dublin via Meath and finishing off with a quick trip to the Rás – busy, busy, busy!!

A busy weekend of racing! The club hosted the very successful Scott Orwell Youth One Day Stage Race, we were well represented in the Shay Elliot and Ken Duff Memorials in Wicklow, the IVCA League continued and we even had members racing mountain bikes in Scotland….

A much quieter weekend on the racing front. With much of the club attention being focused on the Orwell Randonnee and the amazing blue skies it was hard to find some racing news… but never fear we have a few highlights!

Lots of racing action again this weekend. From the foggy Curragh to sunny Castlecomer lets catch up with all the results on the weekend when even the club PRO went racing! Thanks to Nicholas Appleby & Michael “wrong shorts” Hanley for the Deenside Cup Reports…

This week our racing round up starts in Corkagh Park at the Club League races, moves to Dundalk for the IVCA and settles into Bohermeen for some extended Waller Cup coverage – it’s time to put the kettle on and settle in for a good read!

Scott-Orwell Wheeler Racers were spread the full length of the country this weekend – from Blarney to Drogheda. Conditions weren’t ideal but they battled through and did the club proud. Highlight of the weekend was possibly the 3rd place for new member, Aine Donegan, in Blarney………
