In my defense MLCM the Landlord of The Falcon at Arncliffe insists on decanting the beer from the barrel into a jug, and thence into the glass. This may be suitable for old ales, or other such esoterica, but for a Timmy Taylors pub it's simple wrong.
Having said all that, in these parts tea (and I'm talking about the unqiue combination of Taylors of Harrogate and the soft local water) stands on a similar footing with beer. Well, it does at 2 O'Clock on a Saturday afternoon.
In my experience the V40 category is the most competitive. So finishing up in the top half of that is a great result. Roll-on Blackmore's Half. Looks like another great city route crossing the Harbour Bridge etc. Incidently, my mate from Bilgola turned-up on my doorstep the other night.
It's the inimitable
Burnsall for me on Saturday. A hard 10 miler.
