A few minutes later than scheduled, under blue skies and a temperature of 22C, the Rás Tailteann passed through Millstreet on its way to Mitchelstown. There was a over a minute gap between the leaders and the main peleton. The Boys National School came up town and created a fantastic atmosphere. Well done everyone that came out !

Millstreet looking fabulous in the welcome sunshine. Big crowd of spectators in shorts and t shirts. It could be a scene from the Tour de France
