Two Breweries Hill Race 2022

The Two Breweries race starts at Traquair House and finishes in Broughton 19 miles later with 4 distinct climbs adding up to over 5,000ft on the way. A fair part of it is hacking across trackless hills and the optimum line seeming to evolve as the heather grows each year, or gets burnt, and as new quad tracks and trods appear! Its a brute, but its a proper challenge and on the door step, with the added brewery element always seems to appeal. 

It was good weather this year - sunny, but not super hot or too windy. Super to see so many Moorfoots at this years addition - the club had 10 finishers which is believed to be a record for the race. Well done to all Simon Hammond coming in first Moorfoot in 17th place and argonisingly close to ducking under 3h30! Diana Challands was 1st V40, 5th woman, which only a few days after being hit by a car door off her bike  might show the most impressive bounce back and resilience ('just a few bruises all down one side' was how she skimmed over it at the start)!
