If your one of the boring ones who take it seriously you have to do the full climb at the end.
If you had a few pints the night before you’ll have missed the queue at the start and prob wont make it to the climb in the top 100ish, so will only do part of the climb.
If you do it (it being the beer tent) properly you’ll miss the start, ride at the back all day looking ill and then cheer yourself up with a beer at the beer tent/DJ booth. This means they will have closed the course and packed up the finish line so you wont do any of the last climb, instead you just roll round the corner and back to camp to collect your free mug.
that’s making my brain hurt – my plan is to be well outside the top 350 😀
i’m considering riding around with a hip flask full of single malt, tap me on the shoulder if you require a swig . . .
