Who knew?
I swear I would if I had 5 minutes left over from everything else I’m into.
But I live next to this killer hill that’d be perfect.

Irish road bowling is a sport best played on winding country roads, with lots of hills.
“Of course, Western North Carolina has quite a bit of those,” said Justin Hunter, one of the founders of the newly formed Asheville Irish Road Bowling Association. “Plus it’s an outdoor sport and relaxed, which fits the personality of the area.”
Road bowling is an old sport, dating back about 350 years. It was originally played by Irish soldiers. A road bowler hurls a 28-ounce cannonball, called a bowl or a bullet, roughly the size of a tennis ball, toward a designated finish line between 1-1.5 miles away. Unlike conventional bowling, there are no pins to knock down. The bowler who takes the fewest tosses to reach the finish line wins.
