Long or Scenic

The long ride lasts 2 to 3 hours, if all goes well, and can be upwards of 30km long, although usually it is between 17 and 25 km, depending on the terrain on which the trail is set. The aim of the Long, it appears, is to strike that delicate balance between (a) killing the hounds from dehydration and exhaustion and (b) testing their sense of humour.

No dude, you've confused hashing with racing. If you want to race, please do not come to the hash. If you've checked, called on-on, filled in the checks after finding the trail, and still finish first, helmets off to you, bro. If you've finished first, but sucked someone's else's wheel through half the course, sat in the shade at the checks while others checked, or sneaked off on your own once you've solved the check, may bad things happen to you, like never being able to perfectly adjust your rear deralilleur.
