    The leinster champs which was 1st September has dropped off the calendar, anyone know if it is cancelled?

    It was listed as Dublin so looks like it was never going to be traders cup in the first place and possibly hoping to get another club to host?

    To the best of my knowledge up to yesterday there is still no promoter for the Leinster Championships.

    Munster and Ulster are good to go but nothing boxed off for Leinster or Connaght yet.Dundalk have promoted them for years but not this year.Traders Cup as a stand alone event doesn't appear to be happening either. As per the regulations all the provincial Championships have to take place on the same weekend or probably won't happen.I would like to see them run.

    Best of luck getting it off the ground this late.

    Locally the Tipp Championships didn’t take place this year due to delay after delay or little contact to queries sent to CI for approval, a very frustrating process seemingly.

    I don't think they have to be the same weekend, but if you take part in one, you cannot ride in any other that year, so having them the same weekend made sense.

    They do have to be same weekend for about past 5 years or so.

    Fair enough, it's not in the tech regs, just that you can't race more than 1.

    Didn't see this advertised anywhere. How many weeks does it run?

    Does anyone have an idea how many races were cancelled this year? Seems to have increased significantly if I’m not mistaken.

    No and I should have. I probably peaked around end of April / start of May and I was completely burned out post ras (and didn’t recognise it). Had enough residual fitness to do ok until the start of July but then I essentially needed to take a month off completely.


    Felt really good at the Newry 3 day until I blew the lights out of nowhere on stage 2 (dunno what I was expecting given the lack of training). I was training hard since August 2023 so something had to give it’s just not ideal I had to take an off season around now


    Enjoying being back on the bike again now even if the fitness wasn’t where it was. I’ll be going to Denmark for the experience and will prob do L’etape in Kerry but my race season is done. Lessons learned for next year but all in all I’ve achieved more this year than I ever thought possible so I can’t not be happy 😃

    I'm surprised your coach didn't push for a full week off post RAS as generally riders come off that sick anyway.

    You've had a year most wouldn't be capable of so sit back & enjoy these last few weeks before the winter reset from October 1st, Zwift & the gym awaits!

    Delayed mine for 3 weeks so I can relate.

    Thought you might race the Masters with fresher legs than most.

    Not masters for another 3 years 😁

    Although looking at the 40+ category it’ll be as hard as any A1 race!

    I might do cross this year for a laugh! It’ll improve my bike handling if nothing else

    Is the license upgrade to A3 usually instant? I'm up to 14 points after the Armagh race yesterday but still listed as A4 on Cycling Ireland. Was hoping to do the Ulster Championship on Sunday.

    You can take it that you are A3 now, just speaks to comms on the day beforehand.

    WEXFORD CRIT RACE: So the next race will be tomorrow the 28th of August, hopefully we will improve the time gaps again. There is no youth event this week as the track will be occupied until 7pm. Senior race will start at 7:15pm, 40 minutes + 3 laps, run as a handicap race. Met Eireann is predicting the rain will have stopped and the wind will be greatly reduced this week after complaints last week. Slight change in format as we practice for the Wexford Crit Championships on the 4th September. If possible, wear race numbers.

    This is a club league race, there are no CI points on offer.

    Big thanks to Wexford County Council who are sponsoring the First Aid support for the race so that we can keep costs down and to encourage cycling in the area. And a big thanks to Wexford Race Course for use of the facilities, please remember not to walk/ride on the horse race track.

    Any questions please ask, course is here for anyone who has not done it before:
