Two Northern Ireland mountainbikers are going to have to work together... even if it kills them. Tango & Cash take on the Transalp Challenge 2006 - 400 miles and 65,000 vertical climbing feet, from Germany to Italy. How hard can it be?...

Dignified Right to the End
Well, the final hours are approaching, as two old trusty nags prepare to meet their maker. Both have enjoyed a good innings, but they either need laid to rest or a new bionic lease of life. An eerie calm hangs over Antrim town and the hills to the north, as component failure points towards an inevitable end.

The chainring pic lends new meaning to long in the tooth, the middle ring is probably only compatable with a 1927 threshing machine or a circular saw!
Tango and Cash are two '30-something' Antrim-based weekend warriors. Having dabbled in various forms of physical recreation since the 1780's, the two brave chaps signed up for the Transalp Challenge 2006, the world's toughest mountain-bike race. The rest is history...
