Challenge Cycling Club

Challenge Cycling Club Challenge CC is a Galway based cycling club catering for all abilities, covering Oranmore, Clarinbridge, Athenry and Craughwell New members always welcome

Challenge CC was born out of the desire to have a holistic approach to club cycling, with an emphasis on “Team” and rider development. Our objective is to have a club that genuinely caters for all of our members no matter what their individual needs or focus. We are a collective of leisure cyclists and racers, from beginners to advanced. Whether it’s a summer of Sportives and Adventures, or from Club Racing to Time Trials, maybe it’s getting promoted through the ranks of open racing. Whatever it is we will work together to make it the best experience possible and have fun along the way. The club has an access all areas policy, so if you fancy giving any particular area a go and are up for the “Challenge” there are no limitations! All spins and training sessions will be graded by average speed or other levels of difficulty so you know what to expect and can gauge based on your ability. If you're unsure about anything our senior members and Spin leaders are always there to give advice and lend a helping hand, so don’t be shy and get involved.

Something a little different for our Sunday Spin yesterday, with a spin around Lough Derg, starting from Portumna. A very pleasant day overall, stopping off at the Sunday market in Killaloe for coffee. We also had a group sticking closer to home, with a leisurely 66km spin from Athenry.

Our final Sunday Spin of August saw a mix of sunshine and showers, but not a bad morning overall. The speedy group went south to the Burren, taking in Carron and Ballyvaughan, while the remainder went north to Abbeyknockmoy, stopping off in Monivea for a well-earned coffee.

Another great weekend for cycling. First of all, a big shout out to Jim Treacy and his work colleagues for completing a 3-day Mizen to Malin cycle for breast cancer research. You can still help Jim reach his fundraising target at https://www.idonate.ie/fundraiser/jimtreacy356.
We also had our regular Sunday spins and our Community bike rides are continuing on Saturday mornings.

We would like to wish our club member Jim Treacy the best of luck as he takes on the epic challenge of Mizen 2 Malin cycle.

Jim, along with colleagues from Boston Scientific will begin tomorrow and do it over 3 days in aid of Breast Cancer Research. They have all been training really hard and we wish them all the very best.

Here is the link with a lot more information on it. All donations are greatly appreciated and there are some super prizes up for grabs as part of a raffle for all those that do. Thank you.

This weekend had a definite feel of the changing of the seasons, with a drop in temperatures and the return of unfamiliar rain (Ah, but sure the grass needed it!). Smiles all round on the Sunday spin with a stop-off in Gort for coffee. We also continued our Community Bike Rides on Saturday, with a trip to The Filling Station in Athenry. Want to join either of these? Send us a message.
