Dromara Cycling Club membership now over 200 !
From such humble beginnings, Dromara CC has managed to attract new members year-on-year.  The club has seen a dramatic increase in the number of people taking up cycling, partly down to the Cycle To Work scheme and perhaps the increased media interest in cycling. We are pleased that so many have decided to make use of the introductory insurance that Cycilng Ireland has offered over the past two years (65 members this year alone).  We look forward to being part of the continued growth in this sport and recreational activity in the years to come.
