This year there is the first women’s league in Cork, thanks to the support of St Finbarr’s Cycling Club, and organiser Fiona Meade. The League kicks off this week – on Thursday April 14th.

The St Finbarr’s weekly league race is due to commence on Thursday 14th April.
This year for the first year there will be a separate women’s only race.
The race plan is of 45 minutes and 3 laps of a 2.56 km circuit, aiming to increase this to 60minutes and 3 laps after a few weeks.

Prizes will be done via a points system at the end of the league.
For details of the course see the following link:

Sign on is on the Monaghan road at 6.45pm.
Cost is 3 euro per race.

NB: Only riders with a current Cycling Ireland License will be allowed compete in this event.

If you do not have a cycling Ireland license the 55euro “Club competition license” will cover you for this race. Further details on this license and on how to apply for it can be found on the following link.

If you have never raced before and would like to try it out once you can take out a “one day license” for 20 euro, which will be available on the night.
Only one “one day license” is allowed per person for the season. After this you will have to get a club competition license or a full cycling license. (If you wish to take part in other races)

All are welcome!
