    No. Cyclocross is for the Belgians

    The online survey they did attracted 2,500 responses, mainly from members, but also with a significant number of non-members contributing

    The next stage of the process is outlined here

    Basically there will be meetings arranged in each province as follows

    9 September - Ramada Hotel, Belfast
    10 September - Red Cow Hotel, Dublin
    16 September - Shearton Hotel, Athlone
    17 September, Charleville Park Hotel, Cork

    Anyone interested in attending can register their interest via the above link. There is also a summary of the key findings of the survey in that link.

    I would encourage anyone with an interest in cycling and it's future across Ireland to consider heading off to one of these events. Membership of CI is not a prerequisite, and if you feel there are areas that CI can improve its services to members and help formulate CI's strategy over the next decade please make the effort.

    Nice of them to think of us in the West.

    Sure Athlone is only a stone's throw from you.

    Tell you what - I'll put in the effort to travel from the east cost to Athlone for this year's CI AGM, if you're prepared to travel from Galway to Athlone to make your representations on the future of cycling in Ireland. Is it a deal?

    Ah now, in fairness ..... draw a line from Belfast to Cork, through Athlone, and you have by far the biggest 'half' of the country without a venue.

    The findings summary is very interesting overall. For me the most striking thing includes the high demand for lobbying and not a lot on competition. These would be big shifts in mindset for CI. Fair play for undertaking the process - changing things will be harder.
