Founder of the cycle shop that bears his name, Joe Daly was always a generous patron of cycling. He famously sold Stephen Roche his first bike, and the Raleigh 753 on which Roche won the 1978 Rás Tailteann.

His passing in 2009 was a huge loss to the club, to Dundrum, and to Irish cycling as a whole. As a tribute to Joe, at the end of every June, there is a fun cycle from Dundrum to Enniskerry and back. Aided by volunteers from Orwell, the event is in aid of Simpson's Hospital, Dundrum.
