New Web Resource for Northern Ireland Bikers

Our very good friend Terence Dented-Trilby has just launched a new site aimed at providing information on the wealth of mountain-biking trails available in Northern Ireland.

The site is located at http://www.mtbtrails.blogspot.com/.

This will grow over time through feedback from NI's bikers, so check it out, and leave your feedback and suggestions.

Routine Post-Ride Maintenance

Essential to the long-life and good performance of your bike is a regular and thorough program of cleaning, adjusting, tightening and oiling. Despite being lovingly caressed after every ride over the last 10 years or so, even the old '96 Cinder Cone is starting to show signs of wear. Only got a couple of years left before the loyal old soldier gets put out to pasture.

Wanna Get Ahead? Get a Hat!!

In the wake of last weekend's race result, an unprecedented collaborative sponsorship deal has seen giants of NBA and NFL, the Boston Celtics and the Cincinnati Bengals, jointly sponsor Tango and Cash for the 2007 racing season, presenting them each with branded, personalised hats.

Both men shifted uneasily in their seats at the glittering presentation ceremony in Muckamore Community Centre when enthusiastically encouraged by their new US sponsors to "go for the end-zone" and "slamdunk the opposition".
