About

The club, which was founded in 1989 by Davy Brown, Bobby Law and Marty McLaughlin, was known as Carrick Road Club and immediately gained sponsorship from Mr Ronnie and Mrs Averil McKeegan, proprietors of  Madigan Pro Bike Centre trading in Carrickfergus.    The shop is still the focal point of the club to this day and where members meet for club training runs.  

Ronnie was among N.Irelands best cyclists back in the sixties and seventies, he excelled at track racing and was selected as a member of the N.Ireland, Commonwealth Games track team in 1968.  He has been involved in cycle racing for some fifty years plus, beginning as a young teenager with the Kings Moss Cycling Club, to which he remained a member for some thirty years.  

Ronnie also sponsors the Madigan Grand Prix each year, which is one of N.Irelands premier road races.
