Please come out and support Allen in what is guaranteed to me a mucky, horrible & extremely painful race (sorry Allen, but you’re already registered).

Make sure to wear your Garda/Richies/Ethos gear and fly the Club colours.

Christmas Greetings

A very Happy Christmas to all our Club members and their families & friends!!

2011 was a great year for Garda CC, with membership reaching almost 100, for the first time in the history of the Club

A special thanks to our main sponsors:

Richies Bikestore, Swords Village, Co. Dublin

Ethos Engineering, Sandyford, Co. Dublin

And to our supporters:

2012 looks like being an even better year, with great events planned by the incoming committee.

With Garda CC member Caroline Ryan wearing the National Champions Time Trial Jersey, Garda CC member Sandra Fitzgerald defending her National League Winners title, the very distinct possibility that two (2) Garda CC members will compete in the London Olympics (Caroline Ryan) & London Paralympics (Sandra Fitzgerald) and a Garda CC team competing in the European Police Cycling Championships in Brittany, France, 2012 looks like being a very busy year!!!
