Thanks for the support guys, 6 (5 via the forum, 1 from work) laps done @ 44×x15 and a joint 2nd fastest descent of the day of West Hill.

Followed by the downhill-most-of-the-way ride home: https://www.strava.com/activities/654613639
The most notable moment of the evening was probably descending West Hill in 1m04s, 3rd on the LFGSS Strava leader board: https://www.strava.com/activities/654565287/segments/16015143937
taking the full racing line, cutting corners on a completely empty road all the way down. Much fun.
Still, it wasn't all downhill fun - apparently I managed to shave a second off (i.e. match) my best time up the hill too - https://www.strava.com/activities/654488020/segments/16013285875
So all in all an evening of effort, all for a good cause. Thanks for the casual tossing over of a fiver just as I was banking on a breather. Really appreciated.
Beaten by David Ross, whoever he be, also in the LFGSS Strava group who not only managed a faster time on the downhill but who now holds the KOM for the death TT on the same ride this evening for his "First Swains of the year" https://www.strava.com/activities/654438948 - I consider my parade well and truly rained on.
