40mins for elite??? That sounds supsiciously like the full lap of red trail.
Which would be interesting.

So that'd mean 1 lap for sports.

Ah you were just hustling us all week Gar, with all your excuses

The huslte started early... the sunday before Corney (literally)had to push me up the hill in Djouce

You brought that bottle of champers for yourself

Well i was hardly going to give it away 

Yeah GC is a bit tricky... You could really get stuck there with so many people falling. Cleaning that stuff though will bring you on alot - get you out of the comfort zone.
