Bray Wheelers Club – Publicity News
Bray Wheelers are one the oldest cycling clubs in Ireland, having celebrated its 75th Anniversary in 2024. In the past year, a super talented, strong Elite Racing Club Team has emerged that our Club are very proud of to support. Our aim is to give this group of talented, quality Road Racers the best chance to develop and improve their racing skills with the Bray Wheelers Club fully behind them in their quest to dominate the 2025 Irish Racing Calendar. We are an extremely lucky to have such talent within our Club – fielding a 5 man team in the big Stage Races – Ras Mumhan and upcoming Ras Tailteann at the end of this month. We have secured financial support from sponsors to help us along with our coaching and mentoring in our Club. We have the “Buy In” and commitment from this great group of lads and our aim is to develop them and get the best outcome for each and every one of them. Being immensely proud of our Racing group makes it easy for the Club to get behind them. We fully believe these lads will reach their potentials and hopefully do some damage to the podium places on the Race Calendar!! Already we have Jorge galloping up the categories because he has taken on the challenge. We are in the infancy stages of developing an Elite Cycling team. We all know how “all consuming” this sport can be. It has to be admired and supported at a club level to improve the cycling sport in this country. We really believe it starts with a few enthusiastic riders who want to challenge themselves both mentally and physically. Our Club wants to give whatever resources we have to get these lads to reach their potential & beyond. It’s a “win-win” for everyone. Nobody loses and isn’t that what sport is all about??
