We wish our great friend of the club, Padraig Marrey the very best tomorrow as he sets off on another epic spin, this time in aid of Bryan Hyland and Tom Bourke and The Daisy Voyage.. over to the man himself!

STATUE TO STATUE — 320KM FOR DAISY LODGE 💙

Cycling bid: from the statue of St Patrick at Croagh Patrick in Murrisk, Co. Mayo, to Slieve Patrick just outside Downpatrick, Co. Down.
320km. Solo. Target: under 10 hours.

That means averaging around 32km/h all the way — so it won’t be easy.

But the reason is bigger than the bike.
My cycling buddies Tom Bourke and Bryan Hyland are taking on the 3,000-mile World’s Toughest Row this December, raising money for Cancer Fund for Children and Daisy Lodge in Cong.

If the lads are prepared to spend weeks rowing across the Atlantic, I can at least pedal across Ireland to support the same cause.

Daisy Lodge gives children affected by cancer and their families somewhere to escape the hospitals and treatment and spend time together.
I’ll worry about the 320km. You can help make the kilometres count.

Every cent goes towards helping open the doors of Daisy Lodge in Cong.

Cycling Ireland National Masters Weekend was hugely successful for the club. Robert Coakley kicked off the weekend in Nenagh in a major way. A powerful effort saw Robert take a deserved victory in the m55 TT by the most slender of margins. A gold medal is a fitting end to the season for his hard work and dedication right throughout the year.
To Kilmacthomas, Co Waterford on Sunday for the Road Race..
Robert had enough of the headlines at this stage. Over to Michael Cusack and Michael Brady, who carried on where Rob left off. Pictured below, we see Michael C, fresh from the Gran Fondo in Japan, finish in second in M70. Michael B, in the same frame, sprints to seventh in a highly competitive M60 division. Epic performances from all riders. Well done 👏👏

Abi had a strong five days on a Ras that kicked off with four climb-heavy stages before finishing with the fast stuff on Sunday. Twenty-first overall and fourth Irish rider is an amazing achievement. Well done Abi!

More Covey finish line success from Michael Cusack, all the way from Niseko, Japan. A fifth place finish on an extremely challenging, mountainous course in the M70 at the Gran Fondo World Championships. A truly epic achievement and what a location to show off that lovely Nationals jersey!

We are running the fun day to support local lads Tom Bourke and Bryan Hyland, who are completing the world’s toughest row across the Atlantic to raise funds for the new Daisy Lodge, a therapeutic short break centre for children with cancer and their families.

We will be having a BBQ on the day, and will be running a capsize drill of the Misneach, the rowing boat. We will need lots of junior sailors to help us capsize the boat on the day!

We will also have sailing tasters, kayaking, rib rides and pier jumping on the day, as well as land games for all the family.

The event is running directly after the dinghy regatta, so hopefully we will see lots of you there!

Hello..

If you’ve never taken part in a gravel event before, this Sunday, August 23rd, is a great opportunity to try something different.

Gravel riding is about more than off road. It’s about exploration, adventure, and escaping busy roads and traffic. You’ll ride quiet lanes, old tracks, trails, and forgotten roads, discovering parts of the countryside you might otherwise never experience by bike.

Why Gravel Grind West?

Come and explore the Wild West of Ireland.

Hidden landscapes. Wild lakes. Winding rivers. Open boglands. Limestone walls. Historic houses. Ancient woodlands and forgotten tracks.

Ride through a landscape shaped by centuries of history, following in the footsteps of our ancestral monks who once travelled these lands guided by rivers, lakes, and the stars.

This is more than a gravel ride.
It’s an adventure through the hidden West.

Gravel Grind West takes place in Ballinrobe on Sunday, August 23rd, with two route options — 65km and
100km.

Why not gather a few club mates and make it a day out on the bike?
