Pinergy – Orwell Wheelers is proud to announce a strong team for Rás Tailteann. Padraic O’Flynn, Cahir O’Higgins, Mark McKinley, Loughlin Campion, and Aimhirgin O Brannagain will compete over five gruelling stages of this year’s race.

Last Sunday August 25th saw 1600 competitors from all over Ireland and internationally descend on Dun Laoghaire for the 2019 Ironman 70.3 triathlon. 4 of them were from Scott Orwell, read on to hear how 4 roadies got on in this tough event!

"This is when the second crazy incident of the race happens (and within only a few minutes of the first). Pushing 55km/h, spiralling down the winding corners of the Sheeffry Pass descent on the racing line, cliff faces on one side, cliff edges on the other, Shaun goes into the tightest of the corners ahead of me and out of sight. The next second I come in and around the same corner and come across him immediately in front of me, lying on the ground, face down and completely motionless".

Well for what should have been a relatively quiet week that was interesting!! A snowy Club League kick off, the Waller Cup, IVCA, Youth tour of Scotland and a Junior competing on an Irish Team. This bodes well for a great season ahead.....
