Youghal Cycling Club

Youghal Cycling Club Welcome to Youghal Cycling Club. We have spins every Saturday & Sunday from several locations.

Youghal town has a proud tradition of cycling with a club in existence since the 1950s. A very successful juvenile section that challenged for national titles was in existence in the early 1990s. Over the years all disciplines of cycling have been participated in by members from grass track racing in the early years to competitive road racing, mountain biking and cyclo-cross. Currently the club is

focused on the leisure/sportive side of cycling taking part in the ever increasing number of events that form part of Cycling Ireland's leisure calendar. Members also compete in Cycling Ireland's Road race Calendar with strong performances in these events. The club takes full advantage of the spectacular roads and scenery that East Cork and West Waterford have to offer. The club has very successfully promoted several rounds of the Munster Cyclo Cross League on the Claycastle beach course. With such a unique course riders have traveled from all over Ireland to compete on the dunes, sand sections and fast tarmac straights that the course offers. Keeping with the off road discipline, a very active gravel group has emerged who can be spotted on the forest tracks and boreens that are in abundance in the East Cork & West Waterford area. With the burgeoning gravel events calendar taking shape in Ireland the group have targeted a number to participate in such as the 100km Lakelander in Fermanagh and The Galway Gravel Grinder. A very successful Spring racing league series is run off annually on the local Gortroe circuit. This fun, competitive league allows members to enjoy a good workout with riders grouped according to ability, with groups handicapped it provides exciting racing. Club membership has grown strongly in the past number of years and actively growing with both male and female members participating in a wide range of cycling challenge events both at home and abroad. The club has hosted many leisure tours over the years with clubs travelling from around the country to participate on challenging and scenic routes.
