Team GB Cycles arrive at the Sneem hotel for the Ras Na Mban

Team GB Cycles riders, Sarah Maidment, Iona Sewel and Sandra Mackay arrived at the Sneem Hotel ahead of tomorrows 1st stage of the An Post  Ras Na Mban.

The hotel is in lovely surroundings, and the weather so far is good. We met up with our bikes and Team Manager Steve Wright when we arrived and started cleaning up the bikes, and making sure they were all mechanically sound, before heading out to ride tomorrows road race and TT course.

The road course tomorrow is one of the shortest at 66km, we do 4 circuits of a 15km course and with just 2 cat 3 climbs this will establish the Queen of the Mountains general classification.

We get a little break for lunch, and then late afternoon we have the 3km Time Trial, which is a gradual climb all the way.

With a lovely dinner inside us it is time to get some much needed rest, before the early start for tomorrows road race.
