Dunboyne Cycling Club

Yesterday Sunday 31st May 2 of our team members Frank and Bosco took part in the Tour of Louth to raise vital funds for Women's Aid Dundalk. The event was very well organised with good marshaling all through the course, well timed food stops and good food at the finish. Thanks to the organisers and sponsors. Look forward to 2027.

Don't forget to get some merchandise this Sunday...

1 week to go until the RAS come to our lovely village. Pls take a look at this notice on road closures.

The race is delighted to be returning to Dunboyne which previously hosted a very successful Grand Départ in recent years
