The rains came in force across most of Ireland this weekend but that was never going to stop the many cycling events that were taking place across the country.

The An Post Rás came to its conclusion in Skerries, the final time it will have the familiar green branding of An Post.

Further South in Wicklow the Coillte sponsored Irish leg of the Enduro mountain biking series drew a big crowd to the mountains.

South again and the Annual Ring of Beara cycle run by Elite Events brought a splash of colour to an otherwise grey day.

Thousands of cyclists were out and about in these events and others over the weekend and here are a selection of images captured by the snappers of Inpho Photography and Niall Foley.

Elite Events, Cycling Ireland, Fáilte Ireland and Sport Ireland are all members of the Sport for Business community.  This is a little of what we do together.
