Louth Coastal Tour 2024

Jons Drogheda Wheelers are so thankful to all who supported our recent Louth Coastal Tour which raised €2,280 which was evenly split between Donore National School and St John’s Ambulance Drogheda. Both organisations are great supporters of our club and we are delighted to able to give back to them by raising these much needed funds. A massive thanks to all who took part and helped out on the day.

We look forward to some down time on the promoting front before we begin our promotions for 2025 in March – more details to follow.

Harvie Meade and Theo Bidwell are the grandsons of our dearly missed former chairperson, Peter Bidwell. Theo and Zach Devin are the grandsons of our former chairperson, Denis Devin. Both Peter and Devis were integral parts in the running and growth of our club and it was great to have the next generation join us in presenting the cheque.

Gearóid Campbell from Drogheda Wheelers with Andrew Kavanagh and Michael Francis from St John’s Ambulance.
Gearóid Campbell from Drogheda Wheelers and Ruth Daly (Principal of Donore National School) are joined by Harvey Meade, Theo Devin, Zach Devin and Theo Bidwell.
