There is also a growing mountain bike section of the club.The club is predominantly a leisure club with the emphasis on enjoyment of the sport of cycling in a safe way with the obvious attaching health benefits. We organise club spins, leisure events, training days, club races and even foreign cycling holidays to cater for the needs of club members. As well as our own Tour of The Lakes and charity events organised by local groups associated with the club, club members have participated in a large number of Sportives around the country.
In recent years th racing side of the club has grown and the club is enjoying a very successful 2012 season with several racing members recording wins and high placings in open competition at home and internationally. We've also hosted a number of very successful racing events this year, most notably the Mullingar 2-Day and a very exciting series of town centre criterium races.
