Five Stars for Rás na mBan
By Paul Deans
17 Sep 2008,

Email this article
Hi my name is Paul Deans, I drove for Team Coogee-Saar (German Ladies Team) in this year's Rás na mBan and I would be grateful if you would allow me the opportunity (on behalf of Team Coogee-Saar) to use your website to thank and praise both Valerie Considine and Louis Moriarty for a fantastic job they did in organising and running "Rás na mBan 2008"

The race which was run over 3 days included tough quality circuits with some savage climbs/descents with each day's stage being fiercely contested by a quality field of home and overseas riders. Based on my observations over the 3 days Irish Ladies Cycle racing is in safe hands

The race HQ which was based on the "Ring of Kerry" in an idyllic location facing out onto the Kenmare bay in Louis Moriarty's Sneem Hotel & a joining apartments. The race package included accommodation in these beautiful high standard 2 & 3 bedroom apartments with breakfast and dinner, the quality of both the meals and service rivalled any 5 star establishment.

If you are considering planning a few days away from the maddening crowd I highly recommend you visit the "Ring of Kerry" and stay with Louis in the superb surroundings of "Sneem Hotel", don't just take my word for it, have a look at their website www.sneemhotel.com

Valerie and Louis thank you once again for a wonderful experience, I'm already impatiently waiting for "Rás na mBan 2009"


Paul Deans
On behalf of Team Coogee-Saar
