Clubs & studios
Built from one Cycling Ireland club page, Cycling Ulster documents and press reports. Current chairs and websites need checking against the Cycling Ireland club directory before launch.
Armagh Down Cycling Club
Newry area
Chair: Benny Smyth

Formed in 2015 from Killeavy, Saval and Armagh Down Breakaways clubs. Sunday club spins with a coffee stop. Runs the Tour of Gullion sportive, hosted in the 2024 Cycling Ulster Leisure Series.
The chair listed (Benny Smyth) is from reports published between 2015 and 2018 — confirm this is still current.
Camlough CC
Camlough
The one club found based inside South Armagh. Named in Cycling Ulster’s 2024 AGM booklet; chair to confirm. A site at camloughcycling.com was found referenced but the domain no longer resolves — likely defunct, so no website link given here.

Slieve Gullion Wheelers
