Cheesy Rider : The ride to Faro (Days 1-4)

• And they're off! It's not easy trying to look mean at 12 mph...

• 60 miles down and it's puncture number one!

• One Lap Matt in full flow

• They don't do churches by halves!

• Shane and Oz listen intently to the local wise man...

• Why does beer always taste so much better on holiday?

• According to the Spanish Highway code this is perfectly acceptable behaviour...

• "What do you mean me first?!" Greg ponders what is around the corner...

• And found this view thanks to a wrong turn up an unpaved mountain road...

• Nice to have this fella smiling on us...

• Especially since this was the limit of Oz's map reading skills...

• So long as the sun set on our right we knew we were heading South!

• Meet the "Firm". These guys controlled all the beer and fags in a remote village...

• Fortunately they let us have the lot...the donkey was sent 3 times for extra stocks...

• So it was kind of them to let us crawl to sleep in their graveyard

• As we were saying about those map reading skills...

• More off-roading - every nut and bolt on these bikes is now coming loose...

• Er...time to turn around

• And hill climbing is definitely not a sport for C90's

• Oz now having lost the map points the only way to Faro we haven't yet tried...

• So Jimmy the Jinx takes the lead...

• The engine seized half an hour later...
