    Dublin Wheelers Northside or Orwell Southside.
    Further out Swords. Maybe Blanch Wheelies .

    Blanch Wheelies, Castleknock Cycling Club, and maybe Lucan Cycling Road Club are probably closest to Cabra.

    Blanch Wheeliess have their annual Hospice Spin next month I think. Good way to meet some of the club and it's very well organised. Their "club house" is the Straw Hall pub.

    They certainly have a racing section. This is just their annual fundraiser where the leisure and racing cyclists get together for a day. The one time I did it, the racing cyclists where held back after the food so they could "race" among themselves if they wanted.

    I only suggested it as a good way of meeting the club members.

    Blanch Wheelies is part of Club League. Club race every week April-August. Training sessions most Tuesdays as well. All depends on your level and expectations.

    They have an excellent racing contingent - across Open Racing, the Inter-Club league and the IVCA.

    Lucan have 4-6 different racing groups for winter training. Everything from A4/Vets to the lads that do the Ras. Something to suit everyone.
