As a nation of feverishly excited Northern Irish football fans begin booking flights to Euro 2016 in France, Stephen decides to embark on a slightly less conventional mode of transport. He wasn’t even born in 1986 when his country last qualified for a major tournament, and thinks it only right that he marks the occasion by buying a second-hand bike and pedalling there.
Over 2000 miles lie in wait as he and his trusty bike, Finn, experience colossal mountain climbs, wildly eccentric B&B hosts, heavy falls on rain-soaked roads and singing French policemen, not to mention the travelling Green and White Army eagerly anticipating the most important games in a generation. Join Stephen for the ride and witness a entire continent come together in a brilliant, bonkers celebration of football.
