Slaney Cycling Club

Four of our club men took on the gravel grinder yesterday.
Reports were that it's a well organised event and looking forward to next year.
Well done Aidan, Larry, Luke, and Mick

This morning saw a good crew roll out from town. 🚴‍♂️

Unfortunately due to a vehicle fire on our route, we had to take a detour. (We sincerely hope that if there were any individuals involved, all are safe and well). 🤞

Once rerouted we headed to Ballinaboola for a quick coffee. ☕️

Following this it was on to Larkin’s Cross and back to town. 😊

It is with great sadness that SCC learned of the passing of Shane O Brien.

Shane will be a massive loss to the cycling community, a star taken too early.

Our deepest condolences go out to Shane's parents Eddie and Mary and brothers Liam and Aidan.

From all our members, may he Rest In Peace.

We had some great outings last weekend & also had members taking part in the Wicklow 200. Well done all.

If you would like to join us at the weekend, feel free to message. All welcome. 😊

Good luck to all heading to the Wicklow 200 today. Hopefully the weather holds up for the event.

Congratulations to Slaney Cycling Club member Peter Mitten & Co. for raising an impressive €2335 at their coffee morning today. Peter, along with his comrades, are currently raising funds for their Charity Cycle “Mizen - Malin - Malin - Mizen” for Dementia Ireland, a cause close to many of our hearts. All monies from today’s event, which took place at The Crosses in Kilmuckridge, will be added to those already raised. 😊

Last weekend SCC’s Sunday Tour & Larry had a training spin both headed to Clonroche ( where the larry group picked up pace and separated), Ballinaboola, Wellingtonbridge, Duncormick, Bridgetown, Taghmon, Galbally and Beechdale before returning home to Enniscorthy. Clocking 100km, we had our coffee stop in Wellintonbridge where we ran into Team Cupra from Wexford and had some friendly banter. Look forward to seeing you guys again. 😀

Larry group followed a similar route posted here. I know he had a friendly detour up Sliabh Coilte where the pic was snagged below.
