Meet Peter Taylor – Rostrevor local, hardtail rider and Ireland’s answer to Claudio Caluori. This is his preview of the Red Bull Foxhunt course for the race this coming weekend and includes some gems such as: “I’m a fatlete”, “obviously do a skid, you never know who’s looking, it could be your future Tinder wife” and some advice on the best place to buy deep fried, mechanically-deboned chicken.

Peter said: “Took the hardtail on a run down the redbull snakehunt just there….I mean Foxhunt…she’s mighty! This is going to be wiiiiild with 399 other riders come the weekend! Everyone is now riding the track by the way, I’m not a lone snake”
