De Ronde van Cork Cycling Club

It is with deep sadness that we learned of the passing of Shane O’Brien (16) from Fermoy CC
Shane was one of Ireland’s most promising young cycling talents and a valued part of the community.
On behalf of everyone in DeRonde CC we extend our heartfelt condolences to Shane’s family, friends, teammates, and all who are grieving his loss at this incredibly difficult time.
May he rest in peace.

Crossed the border for a bit of 99 action, in the Kingdom of Kerry. Lots of climbing and a bit of light gravel.

So lucky with the weather today and great we stuck together for the most part, 5 riders, 5 different routes 🤣🤣🤣 and so much fun 🤩.

Back on the bike and back in action great to see Ileana enjoying a spin to Shanagarry.

At De Ronde we love to pack it in! Fantastic route from Garry up to Millstreet and over to Naads, mixed in with a bit of climbing!

Solid spin this morning with the Saturday crew. Picked up 2 more on the way to macroom and even got a bit of sunshine to make the miles go faster . The women’s mondello team were out doing some TT training and all.Thanks all who joined was a great spin

🚴‍♂️ Big weekend ahead for De Ronde van Cork X Gravel ! 🇮🇪🔥

We’re proud to have three of our riders heading to Scotland to take on The Gralloch Joan Mc Donald Terence O'r Sophos Gregg– one of the toughest and most prestigious gravel races in the UK and part of the UCI Gravel World Series. 🌍

Battling over 100km of rugged forest roads and relentless climbs in Galloway, this is no ordinary spin – it’s a true test of endurance, grit, and determination 💪

With the added incentive that the top 25% in each age category qualify for the UCI Gravel World Championships, there’s plenty on the line! 🏆

Wishing the lads the very best of luck – we’ll be cheering you on all the way from Cork! 👏🇮🇪
