Orwell Women's League

The well known and loved Women's League, hosted by Pinergy Orwell Wheelers, returns for 2025 and we are delighted to announce that our very generous sponsors Appleby Jewellers are staying on as the event sponsors for another year

The Appleby Women’s League welcomes all levels and abilities of women racing from absolute beginners to experienced veterans from all clubs and interested parties. We aim to offer women new to the racing scene an introduction and foundation upon which to develop, while giving more experienced riders a solid platform to progress their race season. There will be separate handicapped races for beginner, intermediate and advanced racers.

The six race series will commence with a time trial on Tuesday April 22nd at Glencullen (Johnny Foxes/The GAP). This TT will help determine the handicap groups for the following rounds of racing. The following three rounds of Tuesday night racing will be at Corkagh Park, on the dedicated traffic free Cycle Track.

The fifth round will consist of a bigger Crit course around the small lake at Blessington, starting at Manor Kilbride and will take place on Thursday the 20th of May.

The sixth and final round of the league will return to Glencullen for another time trial, giving riders the opportunity to compare their performance over the course of the series and realise their advancement and achievements. Prize giving and a BBQ at the GAP (Glencullen Adventure Center) will happen immediately after racing.

Appleby Jewellers are very kindly donating vouchers to first, second and third place in each category. We will also have prizes for the best Newcomer and the Most Improved rider
