Irish Indurain said:Hi, Good to see a few Irish people on the forum. I only just joined the forum and am relatively new to the sport as well. Going to college in UL in Sept, are there any cycling clubs i could join that would cater for novices. Also what age does junior category end in Ireland.
Cheers

Irish Indurain said:Thanks for the info about Limerick CC 'limerickman'. I will definitely follow that up when i go back to college. I'm new to the sport but i'm pretty fit already. I did rowing in UL last year but, in all honesty, i'm too small to ever develop into a competitive rower. I got a Dawes Giro 200 (very basic i know) to help my rowing programme during the year and i now feel i need to put pedals on for cycling shoes. Any recommendations for a good pair of pedals/shoes for a novice and where i could get them in Ireland?
Thanks for the help

He has just opened a shop here in Limerick (on the dock road).
He's in the process of forming another club here in Limerick.

try northern ireland tourism board .com. i just had a good look at the site an there seems to be plenty on it.kbs23 said:Not from Ireland, but both sets of grandparents are. One of my fondest memories/cycling memories was visting the Aran Isalnds with my Dad when I was a kid. He went off with the other adults to hit the local pubs I assume, while I and some distant cousins of mine rented some ancient one speed bikes from a cranky old lady who only spoke gaelic. I rode all over the island, ending my trip at Dun Aengus. It was amazing. I have not returned in 12 years. Looking forward to a possible family reunion maybe next year and would like to do some hiking/camping and cycling in the north . Any recommendations.
