Hey everyone. On behalf of the Committee and John,

Hey everyone. On behalf of the Committee and John, Tiit, Martin, Jamie and Shane, I wanted to take a moment to express our heartfelt thanks to all the incredible individuals who supported and cheered on our awesome STCC Rás Tailteann Team during this year's race.

First off, a massive shout-out to our Director Sportive, Jason O'Toole. Jason led the team through a whirlwind of fast and hectic days, and we couldn't have asked for a better guide. And let's not forget Luke Kearney, our super-skilled Team Mechanic. Luke worked his magic, keeping our bikes on the road even in the most challenging conditions. Late-night cable wizardry at its finest! Thanks, Luke.

A special thanks goes to Janek, our amazing team coordinator. Janek flawlessly handled all the daily setups at the start and finish, ensuring everything ran like clockwork.

We can't forget Martin Casey, who unfortunately had a crash during the race but remained with us all week, providing support, advice, and keeping us updated from the Team Car. Your dedication and resilience were truly remarkable, Martin. Thank you!

A huge shout-out to the McKay family for being with us throughout the entire week and manning the feed stations. Your support and energy kept us going strong!

We want to express our gratitude to the Club for sponsoring us and to KSN Project Management for their support. KSN has been a great supporter of the club, and we're incredibly grateful for their continued support of the Rás Team.

A big thank you to all the members of our club for your support leading up to and during the race. You not only cheered us on but also helped dress our guest riders for the week (you know who you are). We loved seeing your posts on social media (thank you, Sally and Sean!) and hearing and seeing you on the sidelines throughout the race and at the finish in Blackrock. Your energy and encouragement meant the world to us!

Lastly, our eagle-eyed supporters noticed that the entire Team sported yellow socks on the last stage. This was our way of honoring our dearly missed member and friend, Martin Vereker.

Once again, thank you to each and every person who supported and cheered on the STCC Rás Tailteann team….

The lads are ready for the off…. Congratulations

A gruelling day in the saddle for day 1 of #rástailteann2023 our STCC team did us proud.

Shane, Tiit, Jamie and John all got through it safely despite some crashes early in the race. Jamie was caught behind one of the early crashes and rode 120k with a buckled rear wheel!

John and Martin crashed in the first 30km sadly Martin was taken to hospital he came away with some stitches but is otherwise well. Sadly he won’t be able to start tomorrow. Congrats Martin. A big solo chase by John 🚴🏻to make the time cut after the crash, 🙌🙌Chapeau! To you all 🚴🏻🏆#cycling #cyclingrace#roadcycling

Our 5th and final rider is made of strong Estonian

Our 5th and final rider is made of strong Estonian DNA an STCC club rider for a number of years this guy is tough as his performances in Gran Fondo and Tour of Estonia will attest. Entering the race a second time on the STCC Ràs Team is Tiit Taluma. As road captain with years of racing at the top level on the domestic scene, he will be a vital resource to the team, and his knowledge will see him through. Speaking before the race he said
“funny .. last year i was nervous cause i didn't know what to expect, and this year im nervous cause i do know what to expect... 😁😁” go get em Tiit the club are cheering for you all #cycling #roadracing #roadcycling #rástailteann2023
