A united group looking to ride and be festive. In the end successful on both fronts.
The ride followed a guideline of short and intense. The intensity was derived from some impromptu team time trialling, which was merely a means to get back and get grilling.
Before the bash began a long overdue W.R.C.S. Awards Ceremony had to take place. The celebratory champagne flowed/binded and then it was time to eat. Food and atmosphere was good, but some highlights were the dessert meat and the sighting of a popped collar.
As glycogen levels were topped up it was only naturally to want to deplete them again with some feats of strength.
Up first was the tandem hot lap. Find a partner; co-pilot a lap; then switch up piloting duties and repeat. Fastest combined time wins. [Surprisingly this was not the activity in which someone was injured.]
Grand finale was the BMX hot lap. Some minors set the early standards. Others took-up the challenge, and in the end the Chilean showed off a great performance consisting of pedal, pedal, crash.
Rest assured the 27 sec. tandem hot lap will be bested next time.
