I’m a bit late starting today’s stage (I’d be a DNS!): watching live XCO MTB World Cup racing (on TV) took priority earlier. Today’s final stage of the Rás takes the peloton from Kildare to Bective, across the rich grasslands (where it’s not Dublin commuter belt) of Counties Kildare and Meath

Stage 4 of this year’s Rás Tailteann brings the riders back towards the east coast, and in a very general sense, they are following the direction of the Iapetus Suture, the ancient line along which the NW and the SE of Ireland joined up as the Iapetus Ocean closed (~Shannon-Drogheda).

Stage 3 of this year’s Rás Tailteann starts in the Joyce Country Western Lakes Geopark in Cong, Co Mayo and travels through a large part of the Burren and Cliffs of Moher UNESCO Geopark to Miltown Malbay in Co Clare. www.joycecountrygeoparkproject.ie www.burrengeopark.ie

Stage 2 of this year’s Rás Tailteann is the Queen Stage, and will also see the riders encounter some great geology (not a biased opinion at all!). Starting in Charlestown in Co Mayo, the initial route west, brings them off limestone (blue) and onto much older rocks (yellow and red).
