Stage 1B
Stage 1B also staying the same as last year, Castleisland to Knocknagoshel via Brosna.
Assembly will be at An Riocht AC, The Craggens, Castleisland, V92 XV82, @3:55 pm we will roll out through Castleisland to KM zero and flag drop on the Brosna Road approx. 5km after we leave An Riocht AC.
We start climbing straight away up the Black Banks heading for Brosna. The first KOM comes fast just after 4.0km of racing. With the potential of an early break forming after the climb we head for Brosna from where we take the Cork Line and head for Knocknagoshel.
Here we do 5 laps once we reach the four crossroads with a Cat 5 KOM at each passing with the KOM on the final lap at the finish line. These laps will be familiar to anyone who completed the 2024 edition of Rás Mumhan.
After the 5 laps have been completed, the cyclists will turn right and head up the 600m climb through Knocknagoshel village to finish outside Knocknagoshel Community Centre.
Support cars will be directed straight on at the four crossroads, after the five laps are completed, and can approach the finish from the opposite side of the village.
