Touring

Omagh Wheelers welcomes all touring riders of all abilities to join them on the weekly Sunday Ride. Routes take in a wide range of terrain but rest assured you'll never be left stranded and the limits of the weakest rider in the group is always respected.


If your new to the sport and want to know more then please ask Fran or Terry and they will be only too willing to offer advice and point you in the right direction.


Cycling is a great way of loosing and controlling weight as well as staying fit and healthy, plus you have the benefit of meeting a really good bunch of people so please don't be shy and if you fancy coming down and you'll be made feel more than welcome.

 

Touring training is reported to be going well with good attendance every Sunday, training runs start every Sunday at the Leisure centre car park at 10.30, everyone is very welcome.
