So this was it. A hard year of training was complete. There had been many sacrifices along the way. I had cut back on the treats, eased off the sauce and succumbed to a diet of low intensity monster miles each weekend come rain, hail or shine. My family had suffered with me.

Last Summer, Joe did the 180km version of the Giants Causeway Sportive. But he missed the cutoff time to finish over Torr Head. As a result, Torr Head was a bit of “unfinished business”. The Titanic Torr event this April seemed like an ideal solution – a 200km Audax, starting from Belfast, with Torr Head at about 95km.

Winter 2016 brought the familiar mantra of “Winter miles brings Summer smiles” and I found myself out on the bike more frequently than expected. Initially I ignored the muttered questions about W200.

On a sunny day, the cycle back from Fanore to Ballyvaughan, Co Clare with the Atlantic views on your left and the Burren on your right, must be one of the best in Ireland.

As the old expression goes “time is a great healer” and that is certainly the case when Jamie decided to ride the Rás for the second consecutive year. The pain and stress of the previous year was fading, all that remained were fond memories of a fantastic week with some great people racing around Ireland in glorious sunshine.

A little under a year ago sixteen club members blissfully unaware of what they were letting themselves in for. They signed up to go on a trip to the Dolomites. Attracted by the motto of “Pedala forte, mangia bene” – meaning cycle hard, eat well. The sixteen looked forward to idyllic days basking in the sun as the road rose gently before them and returning sated at the end of the day to a good meal and copious wine. How did they fare?

Scott-Orwell Wheelers are proud to announce two upcoming audax events; the Midlands 300 and the National 400. These follow on from March’s Orwell 200 Audax.
