Irish all women Flèche team recognised

The Easter Flèche is unique in Audax terms. It is a 24hr ride ridden as a team event, Each team devises its own route, minimum 360km and traditionally, the routes of the Flèche in a given country or region meet at a common finishing point, (the Flèches / Arrows aiming at a single target). 

In 2023, out of 1349 entrants worldwide, there was only ONE all-women’s team:

Julie Rea (Phoenix Cycling Club), Beata Golzcak (Orwell Wheelers CC), Suzanne White (Sorrento Cycling Club), Valerie Plant (Orwell Wheelers) and Helen Kerrane (Audax Ireland)
