Part sponsored by ‘Rebel Menswear’, a small clothes shop in Ennis, my teammates and I hounded local businesses, friends and family for the remainder of the finances needed to get us around Ireland for what was then a nine-day, ten-stage race.

Padraig Marrey Rás Storey
 |
| Padraig Marrey Mayo |
Padraig Marrey the Ballinrobe Co. Mayo Postman man is one of the unsung heroes of Irish cycling and his passion for the sport knows no bounds.
He’s had a staggering career, with 12 Rásanna to his name. But a health scare last year has meant he will never race the country’s most arduous event again
The Ballinrobe man never had the distinction of winning a stage – though he came close on several occasions. But his love for the race is deep-rooted.
Here, he tells about his first Rás as a fresh-faced teenager… More>>>

Competition for ranking points will be at an all-time high when the 2014 cycle racing gets underway in a few months following a ruling by An Post Rás working committee that Category 3 riders must attain Category 2 status to be eligible for inclusion in the big 8 day international race in May.
Commenting on the ruling Race Organiser Tony Campbell said as the standard of racing in An Post Rás is constantly on the rise it’s important this is reflected in domestic racing, he also stated “with the huge number of races in the early part of the season it should well be in the reach of riders aspiring to take part in an 8 day international race to achieve sufficient points to move up to Category 2”.
Next year’s An Post Rás will take place from 18th to 25th May. The route is expected to be announced in January.

Richard Handley's Rás 2013
 |
| Richard Handley |
Richard Handley went into this year’s An Post Rás Tailteann as Rapha Condor JLT’s team leader. Handley has consistently shown excellent form this year, taking several early victories and, after finishing an excellent 5th in the 2012 Rás, held realistic ambitions of a podium place.
The Rás though, perhaps more than any other of the races that the Rapha Condor JLT team will take part in, is an unpredictable and uncontrollable beast. The field is made up of 5 man teams, and the competition and terrain is savage at best.
Looking back over his race, Richard takes us through his week in Ireland with the Men in Black, and describes the ups and downs of vying for victory in the fabled Rás. More>>>
