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?...

Hubbrrrr Hubbrrrrr
Training continues despite tundra-like conditions in the Antrim Hills. Our round trip of 65 miles in the snow would have been a runaway success and a much-needed boost in our training plan, had 64 of those miles not been in the car, to and from our start point in Glenariff. The latest problem? Frozen hubs, causing a freewheel no matter what way the pedals were turning! Be warned - that's what happens when you wash your bike!
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...
