Foyle Cycling Club are privileged to announce the dates for Ulster 3 Day International Youth Tour 2023

The Ulster 3 Day International Youth Tour will take place over the 29th, 30th & 31st July 2023. Foyle Cycling Club have agreed to host the event this year in order to keep this long established and highly organised popular youth event alive and keep promoting cycling amongst the youth.

The event will see young cyclists both boys and girls U12, U14 and U16 compete, not just from Ireland but attracting riders from the UK, Europe and further afield. These competitors will compete for the polka dot, stage and yellow jerseys. Stage one will be a time trial followed by three road stage races across the three days.

We would firstly like to thank Errigal Cycling Club for hosting this event at the highest level for the last eight years and Foyle CC will do their utmost to continue the professional legacy Errigal Cycling Club has left behind. Nothing short of which youth cyclists deserve and should expect.

With the assurance of the help, expertise and financial support from the governing bodies of Cycling Ireland and Cycling Ulster, Foyle Cycling Club are delighted to host this event. We would like to thank Cycling Ireland and Cycling Ulster for their support as well as the valuable input we have received from the Cycling Ireland Youth and Cycling Ulster Youth commissions, their continuous input is extensive and commitment invaluable.

The focus of the Ulster 3 Day International Youth Tour is to provide safe racing on different circuits of varying difficulty in Derry and Donegal. We want all the riders to enjoy a positive atmosphere and get the buzz of racing in what might be their first of many international races. So, we would ask as many clubs to come along, get involved and support us in any way you can and make this an enjoyable event for everyone. Remember Foyle Cycling Club are only one small part of the jigsaw; we are the hosting club but it is people who attend are the ultimate success of this event going forward. So please put this date in your diary, turn up to help and cheer on the future of Irish Cycling on Irish Roads.

More details will follow in the near future.
