Cycling is one of the fastest growing sports in Ireland and membership of Cycling Ireland now stands at over 19,000 people. The majority of these people are leisure members who train regularly and take part in leisure events throughout the year at locations all around the island of Ireland.

In 2013, more than 300 leisure events took place in Ireland and plenty more are planned for 2014 and subsequent years. The leisure event calendar can be found under the relevant button elsewhere in this app. Leisure events are run over a large number of distances, from family friendly short spins right up to a lunatic 300km long-distance event. Leisure membership of Cycling Ireland is a great introduction to the sport of cycling and participating in leisure events is a fun and social way of keeping fit and seeing some beautiful parts of the country.

Like all licenced Tuam Cycling Club/Cycling Ireland memberships, leisure membership includes insurance for the member. This insurance covers personal accident and 3rd party liability insurance while the member trains or takes part in Cycling Ireland approved leisure events.
