The Ring(road) Cycle - a torture of Tuesdays in several parts
Of late, young Kristy has been getting dangerously fast. As part of her increased athleticism, she has been instrumental in setting up an evening run around the ring-road, of about 8 miles. This usually hurts, because everyone does it about a minute-per-mile faster than they say they intend to.The run is retty basic, and easy to follow:

Simple, right? Hard to get lost on? Well, it would be if we weren't hashers. The hashing element has led to a number of variations. In order of increasing deviance, these are:
1) the Kristy "oh dammit was that the turning for the hospital?" run:

2) the Gus "I'm too hairy to run that far" run:

3) The Hermionie 6-minutes-per-mile special:

4) The Winston "Where IS everybody?" run (increased scale) :

and finally,
5) the Chris Howell "shortcut" run (familiar in principle to anyone who has ever been running with Chris):

Doubtless new and exciting variants will be discovered in future. We await them with some trepidation...
