The announcement of the revised “Roadmap for Reopening Society” has allowed for an accelerated return of club activities and events. The following is an extract from the Cycling Ireland website outlining some of the implications for clubs.
Club training and racing can now return from June 29th once strict protocols are adhered to. Guidelines developed by Cycling Ireland in conjunction with the Sport Expert Group and UCI are available to clubs wishing to organise group training rides and club competitions during Phase 3. A Cycling Ireland booking system has been developed to assist clubs with meeting government’s contact tracing requirements.
Open events will return from July 17th to allow sufficient time for event organisers to implement the necessary protocols and provide athletes with adequate time to prepare for competition. A revised calendar will be made available next week with online registration through the Cycling Ireland events system a requirement for contact tracing purposes. Guidance for event organisers can be viewed below and our events team are available to assist you through this process.
While group training activities and events are returning, Covid-19 remains a highly contagious and debilitating virus, and in some cases a fatal one. Members, clubs, and event organisers should consider their own circumstances and assume personal responsibility when deciding to partake in group activities.
Drogheda Wheelers urges all its members to familiarise themselves with all of the rules and protocols laid out by Cycling Ireland and to enjoy a safe return to our sport. We hope to be in a position over the coming days to announce plans regarding our scheduled events.
