Real cycling experiences we've created for older adults on the Carlingford to Omeath railway path
Launched our flagship guided cycling program along the 12km Carlingford to Omeath route. Small groups of 6–8 riders, ages 58–78, cycling the flat converted railway path twice weekly. Participants gained confidence on the lough shore terrain and built friendships within the local cycling community.
Developed a progressive 12-week program preparing 18 participants for the Carlingford route. Focused on leg strength, balance, and cardiovascular endurance with exercises tailored to prevent common senior cycling injuries. Members reported 40% improvement in riding comfort and stamina by week 12.
Ran quarterly maintenance workshops teaching chain care, brake adjustment, and tyre safety. Covered 24 participants across four sessions. Riders left confident handling basic repairs and understanding what to check before heading out on the lough shore path—building independence and reducing mechanical anxiety.
Organised monthly themed rides exploring the Carlingford to Omeath railway heritage. Each ride included a stop to learn about the disused railway's history and local landmarks. Attracted 45 regular participants who enjoyed both the gentle cycling pace and the storytelling aspect—making the route feel like discovering local heritage on two wheels.
