Due to lack of coverage at the weekend – the reports from the last four stages of An Post Rás na mBan are all below in reverse sequence. A huge congratulations must go to race organisers Valerie Considine and Louis Moriarty (Sneem Hotel), who put so much work into making this event a success. The sponsorship from An Post made a big difference to the event on many levels also, and the super racing from all the riders ensured it was a super event! Thanks to Declan Quigley for all the timely press releases and twitter feeds, and to photographers Jill Leonard and Adrian O Connor for brilliant coverage. (more…)
