The big build-up for the main Easter stage race, Dornan Rás Mumhan, and the explosion of action that followed, is now over for another year and it's back to one-day racing action for the coming weekend.
Unlike some of the weekends since the season began, when there was no action or just a single event promoted some days, there are two promotions on this Saturday and Sunday.
As well as the senior races being run this weekend in Limerick, Wexford, Tyrone and Antrim, there's also youth racing in Limerick on Sunday,
