2022 has been a hugely successful year for our youth section. Orwell Wheelers currently have 86 youth members (26 girls and 60 boys), and the massive growth in family cycling during the Covid pandemic is clear in the large number of U8 and U10 in this mix.

All Orwell members are invited to the Christmas Party & Awards night at Old Wesley RFC on Saturday 26th of November at 8pm . Read on for details…

To try to encapsulate Tom’s accomplishments in a few short sentences would be an utterly futile exercise. Enumerating even some of his achievements would read like an on-line dating application, a skill he would find superfluous, so I’m left with the only option open to me, which is to suggest that you view this short video.

A fantastic evening for Orwell Wheelers at the Leinster Hillclimb Championship — three golds and a silver for the club on the night.

We were back to a full set of National Championships after two COVID-impacted years. There were two days of racing, over three different disciplines, in Hamiltonsbawn, Co Armagh, hosted by Orchard CC. Orwell Wheelers had 17 riders taking part, and had someone in almost every single race. I got to drive neutral service in the road races, so got to see a good bit of the action, and nearly every race was tough, fast and fair.

A big weekend of racing for kids from Ireland and abroad took place this weekend in Derry and Donegal. The biggest fields of the year so far (over 50 Under 16 boys, most other fields 20 or more) in Ireland, with a good smattering of riders from The Isle of Man and Britain, was a real festival of youth racing, and our Orwell Youths were a major part of it all.

Three Orwells – Fran Brophy, Simon Kelehan and John McElligott – signed up for the 2022 Tour of Monaghan on 10th of July. Fine weather was forecast, and while it was the weekend prior to the “glorious twelfth” over the border, this wasn’t a concern in County Monaghan where the route was excellent, the event well organised, the weather was perfect and the locals friendly.

David Harrington, Luca Holmes, Killian O’Brien and Patrick O’Sullivan were selected to ride for Orwell Wheelers at the London 2 Day on 2-3 June. Ivan O’Brien (as team manager) and Dmitri Griffin (mechanic) travelled with them for an amazing weekend of racing.
