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?...

Westward Ho!
Setting off from Antrim at 6:15am on Good Friday, a brisk westerly kept the air blue as we pummelled our way to Derry before parting company, Tango for Portrush and Cash for Dungloe, Donegal. The pizza was going down a treat in Portrush by 1:30pm, but it was 4:45pm before a saddle-sore Cash dropped anchor on the west coast.
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...
