Unfortunately, a conspiracy between Ryanair and the Passport Office meant we were a man down before departing the Barony of Iveagh, leaving one rocket stuck on…
With the dark nights now upon us, that can mean only one thing – the return of winter training. For many, this will involve countless hours spent on a turbo trainer, losing copious amounts of sweat. However, for the hardier amongst us, the call of the outdoors is too strong – wrapped up in several…
Sunday past was the start of the Ulster Cyclo-Cross League, with Apollo CT hosting Round 1 at Lurgan Park. The 24 hours of rain prior to the event resulted in a muddy, waterlogged course – apparently this is ideal for cyclocross; but not for the car interior!!! Two junior VCI members (Ben & Charlotte Seffen)…

Club kit 2019 2019 will see Velo Club IVEAGH enter it’s 6th year, with its foundation as strong as ever.

Katesbridge Loop 15.5mile ITT Round 6 in the BICRL was full blooded affair with our club riders looking to keep the moment of several good weeks now in both club level and open level racing. A little cooler than previous weeks and with some light rain and wind, this was not enough to deter club…
