An 2011 Post Rás Route Launched
The 2011 An Post Rás route has just been launched. You can access the full details here. The most interesting news is that stages 3 & 4 (May 25th and 25th) will be in county Kerry.
Stage 3 will involve a very difficult 175.3 kilometre cycle from Kilrush to Castleisland ending with the Category 1 climb of Gleansharoon, just past Crag Cave with the summit being just 8 kilometres from the finish, which is bound to split the bunch up and make the finish very interesting. The stage end in Castleisland will be hosted by Currow Cycling Club and well done to them for being involved in bringing the Rás back to Castleisland.
Stage 4 will also begin in Castleisland and will see the riders travel 142 kilometres to Castetownbere. For more information on the Rás, keep an eye on the Rás website.

Interesting video posted starring the legend Mick Murphy as he gets invited to the Electric Picnic in 2010.
I wish the mountains were my friends too. Maybe I should start being nicer to them and they would be nicer to me.

Eoin Ryan – A Legend
Cycling the Ring of Kerry is always an achievement. For some people the satisfaction of getting around safely and returning home with a smile is enough to keep them satisfied until next years event. For others it is not enough. I have recently read about Eoin Ryan a man from Dromid in Co. Kerry who pushed himself to cycle around the Ring of Kerry no less than five times in succession this year, starting on Thursday 1st of July and Finishing on Saturday the 3rd in Killarney, with his last ‘lap’ involving cycling with others in the annual event. Total cycling time was 45 Hours and 30 Hours.
Eoin Ryan - A Legend (From Kerry's Eye)
Eoin was cycling on behalf of the Kerry Parents and Friends Association and is still collecting for them. To find him, look for the man walking crooked around Dromid I would imagine. Chapeau Eoin!
