Audax - Celtic Knot 2025 42hr 04min moving 64hr 38min elapsed I obviously did'nt learn my lesson from last time. I returned, and so did the winds. Brutal at times and then accompanied by biblical rain for the final 100km or so.... And yet all that aside an incredible and unforgettable weekend. Great teamwork within the group (Apologies to them for some of the cranky late night outbursts....😲😄) But most of all a sincere thanks to the organisers and team - Hendrik, Keith, Fin

Stage 5 was the home leg. 143km from Kildare town to Bective Stud, the sponsor of the race leader’s jersey. An aggressive day was predicted, with it being the last chance for many to leave their mark on the 70th edition of the great Rás Tailteann. The predictions were right and a large breakaway group had formed early on the stage and opened a significant advantage, threatening many of the classification jerseys. Patrick was part of this and emptied himself for 75 mins. Luke,

Rás Tailteann 2025 – Stage 4 Report Ennis to Mountrath | 128km | Stage 4 of the Rás Tailteann was billed as one that would shape the overall standings—and it delivered. The 128km route from Ennis to Mountrath featured undulating terrain and the feared Category 1 Wolftrap climb in the closing 15km. Riders were met with relentless rain from start to finish, making for a cold, miserable, and brutally selective day in the saddle. Despite the weather, the race exploded into action

Stage 2 Report Charlestown to Clifden | 172km Stage 2 of the 2025 Rás Tailteann lived up to its billing as the queen stage of the race. Covering over 170km from Charlestown to Clifden, the route included the Category 1 Windy Gap after just 50km, followed by a succession of four more categorised climbs in the final 60km—making it one of the most demanding stages on the Irish racing calendar. Into the Wind and Mountains Under blue skies and a punishing pace of 46kph average, th

Drogheda to Boyle | 148km | Strong Start from Orwell on Opening Day The 70th edition of Rás Tailteann got underway under clear skies and summer sunshine, as riders rolled out of Drogheda on a fast 148km route to Boyle, Co. Roscommon. The stage featured a mix of hot spot sprints, rolling terrain, and the first King of the Hills (KOH) points, all raced at a blistering pace. Race Recap From the drop of the flag, the race surged into action, with the peloton averaging over 45kph
