You might find them listed here - you can search by province and county.

Hmm, sponsored by a bakery - I hope they are called "Buns of Steel", or similar.

As a matter of interest, what were they all doing wrong?

Riding two abreast (and not doffing their caps to every passing motorist )

Sounds like they brought their own cake and didn't share

Yeah, you have to share the cake lads.
They were extermely abusive to any rider that went past them to take a turn at the front, myself and a few others passed them out on a hill and we were told to fu$k back to waterford, and other choice words that I wont say here. They were the angriest lads iv ever met on bikes. They really pissed off alot of people, gave a really bad feeling to a day that should have been great. some people might think that this is not a big issue but its just not on lads!!!

But big thanks to the knockmealdowns active group for putting on a great sportive yesterday.

The O'Gormans from Clonmel sponsor that club. I don't know the lads well, but I'm sure they won't be happy to hear that their riders were acting like that.

There always one or two to ruin a good buzz.

I was in a group going at a reasonable pace (I thought so!) on the Sligo Tour and it started to absorb people going slower who were glad to come aboard the group but one woman who was over taken and then felt the benefits of the reduced drag started shouting at everyone to push harder. After a few minutes of annoying all in the group she eventually made a break for it and was commenting as she rode past. As the goup started to break up on the hills it gave me great pleasure to pass her a couple of km's up the road and gladly didn't see her again. I felt like reminding her its a leisure ride but like the lads above they don't seem to understand the concept of a LEISURE ride!

No call for rudeness unless people don't call potholes or are dangerous to the group.

As far as i know its not an actual club just some advertsing for their bakery. If it is these guys i would say it was pretty tounge in cheek stuff . Anyone riding a sportive could do with listening to these guys you would probably learn a lot about bike riding. They have won national champs ,stages of the ras, rode the nissan classic on irish teams and raced in belgium . they are good for a bit of banter, lighten up and enjoy ridding your bike ,sure isnt it great to know you were hurting such acomplished riders on the hills;)

Then just drop them, no need for rudeness

"Anyone riding a sportive could do with listening to these guys"

Listen to someone telling you to f**k off! Could certainly do without that, sound like a group of pricks to me, regardless of what they have or haven't won. If they're such an accomplished group of riders why are they not at the Tour of the North hammering Armstrong & Co. instead of riding a sportive?

Well said

They must have been joking?

I've never encountered that on any sportive in ireland in the last 3 years. What was the one that you were on?

Are you sure they weren't slagging you for hanging on the back for an hour and then burying them when they were knackered on a climb? (please tell me it was joking around)

kayaksurfbum

Telling a stranger to Fu*k off back to Waterford is not banter!

If they get passed out in a race do they call the faster riders a pack of "Cee U Next TuesdayS"

Im well able for banter, Iv been riding for Years and years and iv never heard anything like this, in a sportive or race.

BUT, it didn't ruin my day.
