Michael Smiley takes a cycle tour of Northern Ireland. Michael meets comedian Kevin McAleer, tours the Beaghmore Stone Circles near Cookstown and cycles up the steep Mamore Gap.

Smiley's back with plenty of laughs as he meets one of his favourite comedians, Kevin McAleer, and cycles the County Tyrone's country roads for a unique tour of the Beaghmore Stone Circles near Cookstown. He goes to Strabane to take part in the Cycle Against Suicide ride to Derry with Jim Breen and hears how the charity and cycling can help save lives. Smiley's cycling odyssey concludes with his biggest challenge yet - trying to cycle to the top of the steepest hill in Ireland, the Mamore Gap, alongside inspirational pedalling pensioner 74-year-old Willie-John McLaughlin.
