I'm Steve from Belgium and moved 5 years ago to this beautiful unspoilt part of the world. I bike for years and am very experienced. I did some races in triathlon on the road and leisurely I ride in woodland. I know the area very well and know the best corners and spaces to ride on around Cong and Joyce's Country, to explore areas of outstanding beauty the average biker wouldn't see. I will take you on a magical ride in and around the forests of Cong and lakes of Joyce's Country.
