Lakeside Wheelers Cycling Club was formed in 1979, having previously been known as Mullingar Cycling Club. The club is affiliated to Cycling Ireland, the governing body covering cycling in Ireland. We cater for every level of cyclist including beginners, leisure cyclists as well as competitive racing cyclists. The club has grown significantly over the last number of years increasing its membership from 40 members in 2003 to the current high of over 150 members.

The club is predominantly a leisure club with the emphasis on enjoyment of the sport of cycling in a safe way with the obvious attaching health benefits. We organise club spins, leisure events, training days, club races and even foreign cycling holidays to cater for the needs of club members. As well as our own Tour of The Lakes and the Mullingar GP club members have participated in a large number of Sportives around the country.

In recent years the racing side of the club has grown and the club has enjoyed a number of successful seasons with several racing members recording wins and high placings in open competition at home and internationally. We've also hosted a number of very successful racing events, including a number of National Championships in various disciplines in recent years.

Joining Lakeside Wheelers has transformed my cycling experience! The supportive community and diverse groups cater to all skill levels, making every ride enjoyable.
