She coughs and splutters a bit just to let me know we are at 13000 feet plus. Winding up and down the alpine valleys joined by the never ending Rock strewn hairpin bends…. its slow, technical riding. There were times I wondered if a few more CCS would help, particularly on the long Oklahoma dirt […]
We have been waiting now for a bit, longer than a nature break would normally take. In the forest 9000 feet up and no sign of Simon. There is sort of a pattern, Mick rides out front he is 100 % on navigation and can travel faster, Simon goes behind he has no Nav kit […]

It’s a long time since this scribe was in the USA. 1976 if the old memory is correct. It’s easy to forget how big the country and everything in it is. For some reason I thought Knoxville was a small town, wrong. It’s big and spread out. Huge wide streets. Fine just different. We have […]

Someone has to set them up… Paul Mc Carthy by his own admission can be a bit mad, recent dad from downtown Ballyhooly a good stones throw from Kilworth forest. Mad Paul McCarthy… He can ride a bit on an Enduro bike and very handy on the old trials bike. Add to that he and […]
