The Irish Hospice Foundation is running two cycle events this year to help raise funds for the IHF. Dublin to Paris is run from the 18th-23rd of July and Paris to Geneva is run from the 24th-29th of July.

A Women's Cycling Weekend/Training Camp will be held in Mullingar on the weekend of the 27th-28th of March 2010.

A membership with Orwell Wheelers is necessary if you want to ride with the club. Membership forms can be mailed to the club.
