Kind of hard to say how much it made my heart sing to see this banner on @brindishemanorschool (as opposed to the usual league-table, metric-driven, brag fest, OFSTED-related drivel we see on school gates, fences, & the backsides of buses)! There is hope...

The #sharinglands research team will be at #nanonagleplace tomorrow at 1:15pm, & will be talking about the @choctawgift to the Irish & more. Join us if you're in Cork City!

A huge go raibh mile maith agat to Jana, Tina, Christy, Ryan, Adam, Watta, Christian, & everyone for taking care of all the riders; this was a special, special week.

The Choctaw Nation Trail of Tears Bike Team (2025) have made it back to Tribal Headquarters in Oklahoma safely and very happily. Genuinely honoured to have been invited by the Team to join them, & awed at the support....

Chief Gary Batton rode in with us, & there was a huge welcome waiting.

On Friday, May 23 the Choctaw Nation Trail of Tears Bike Team will arrive at Tribal Headquarters, having travelled 500+ miles from the tribal homelands to Calera, OK. It's been a remarkable trip.... Huge thanks to all those who have supported; help us to cross the line in style! gofund.me/f10bd86a

4:55am, rising time. 5:30am, load bags & check bikes. 6:30am, roll out.... Day 5 of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma Trail of Tears Bike Ride is about to begin. Over £1,500 has been raised to support the team. Let's try for £2,000 by Friday: gofund.me/be0ef423 Please share widely & often!

Choctaw Nation Trail of Tears Bike Team ride, Day 3. Monticello to Camden, Arkansas. Learned about river cane along the way, courtesy of Ryan Spring (Tribal Historic Preservation Department), as well as about the Choctaw ancestors' journey through Camden, AR.

Tallulah, Louisiana to Lake Village, Arkansas, via the U.S. Highway 65 (the Delta Rhythm & Bayous Highway). Day 2 of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma Bike Team's Trail of Tears ride. The distances covered by Choctaws during the 1830s are simply staggering....

A day in the life of a bikebox.... SE4 to Calera, OK, ahead of the Trail of Tears Bike Ride. Excited to be the first Irish rider to join at the invitation of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma's bike team! You can support the riders here: gofund.me/f10bd86a

I'll be joining the **Choctaw Nation Trail of Tears Bike** team this May, and participating in a 7-day cycle that follows one of the historic routes walked by the Choctaw during their Removal from their tribal homelands. @choctawnationOK @IrelandCGAustin
