...a brilliant run and a boozy circle

Short Screw says it all - well other than that it was 8.4k or 5.1k for the short(!) run. The total ascent was 45k and the high point 43m, proving once again that you don't always have to have hill for it to be fun. The front end of the pack reached the beer stop (6.3k) in about 40 minutes so were motoring. The beer slowed them down a bit but everybody was home well within an hour and a half.
