Quick Barrel Racing Joke

As we remember the year's descent into darkness now we're past the Solstice, tomorrow's big event is Barrel Racing.

It's a great experience. We go to the top of Dunstable Downs, wrap the competitors in foam, shove them into barrels and then, when they're all prepared in a long line, push them down the hill to see who hits the fence round the Gliding Club first. People ask why we do something this risky and pointless, but I tell them - that's how we roll.
