Club Races (Results from 2023 and previous years)

Ards Cycling Club organises a full programme of club races for its members from April through to September. Time trials, where riders race individually against the clock, are a great introduction into the world of bike racing. When you get fitter, and more comfortable riding in a group, then you might want to try our club road races as well.

The race calendars and results from previous years are listed on this page. For the 2024 club calendar click here

Various trophies are awarded annually for competition in club races. Click here for more details of these. We’ll try to keep an up-to-date list of leaders in the results pages against each race.

Finally, we award medals for riders reaching certain standard times in time trials. For a list of the standard times for each age group, click here.
