60th edition of The An Post Rás sets demanding challenge for riders 26 Jan 2012 “Tactically Difficult” route takes a North West direction for 2012
To race in the Kingdom is something special 23 Jan 2012 To do so in the company of Griffin, Blackwell, Moriarty (Paddy or Eugene), Lacey or many others is more so. I recall racing through Kerry on Stage 4 or 5 of the Rás, on John Blackwell’s wheel, at the head of the race. The support and enthusiasm was incredible, as locals recognised and cheered on with contorted faces and clenched fists – “Go on Blacky, Drive on!”. The hairs on the back of my neck were standing up and I was, by now, a couple of bike lengths off his wheel such was the response of Blackwell.
With only days to go to Christmas, the winter warriors are already dishing it out 21 Dec 2011 Plus ca change, plus c'est le meme chose - the more things change, the more they stay the same. One thing that is for certain, is that the seasoned racing cyclist, be it A, B through to Veteran - this is base time. It's time to let the wheel go, as there is a greater goal. For a selected few, that includes the An Post Ras 2012.
Just over 6 months now until the An Post Rás 2012 11 Nov 2011 Those who intend to ride, let alone compete in, the 2012 edition of the AN POST RÁS are well aware. For those who have already completed Ireland’s premier stage race, the “Men”, an appreciation of its’ rigours and requirements means a refocusing of effort, increased discipline, more hours on the bike, a review of last years’ training plan – the list goes on.
