Lakeside Wheelers Mullingar is delighted and honored to be part of the 2025 National Cycling Championships.

In partnership with Navan Road Club and Yellow Furze Road Club who will be hosting the Road Race events on June 28th and 29th, Lakeside Wheelers Mullingar will host the Elite Time Trial on Thursday, June 26th.

The TT will be staged on a 25.5km route that runs from Kilbeggan, through Horseleap to the roundabout at Browne's filling station near Moate and back to Kilbeggan. It is anticipated that this course will see some very fast times posted as it features just 132m of ascent.

This year's TT event will see Para cyclists feature alongside senior and junior able-bodied categories. The jerseys up for grabs on the night are:

  • Junior Women

  • Senior Women

  • Junior Men

  • U23 Men

  • Elite Men

  • Para B Tandem TT Mixed

  • Para C Division TT Mixed

  • Para H Division TT Mixed

The organising committee was formed earlier this year and includes, Shay O'Toole, Jack Nugent, Mark Horohoe, Eugene Duffy, Mick Walshe, Pearse Murphy, Philip Wade, Eamon Hogan and Camillus Farrell.

Thanks to all members who have already volunteered to help out with marshalling on the night and if you are free, please come out to support the event. The first rider is scheduled to roll off the start ramp at 18.30pm and it is anticipated that there will be approximately 50-60 riders competing.

Thanks also to the management of the Kilbeggan Whiskey Distillery Visitor Centre who have worked with us from the start and very generously offered the facility as the event HQ.
