Bike Donation

Colm Yeates and family from Mullingar kindly donated 6 children’s bikes to the Ukranian refugee effort. Pearse Murphy PRO Lakeside Wheelers delivered these to Ms Pauline Joyce manager of Maple Court refugee centre in Castlepollard recently.

Cyclocross

Ian Lambden and Dylan Franzoni represented Lakeside Wheelers at the recent Verge Cyclo Event in Clonmel Co Tipperary. This was a UCI elite event. The weather wasn’t looking good, when on the start line the heavens opened and continued to hammer down for the duration of the race. The race contained some of the best riders in UK and Ireland. Ian Lambden battled for position in mid-pack for the first 4 laps, then unfortunately just didn’t have the pace to stay with the big boys from the UK but it was an excellent experience for Ian. Dylan Franzoni also had his battles with the weather in the junior race but finished very well mid-pack.
