There was a legend in the motorcycle race in norhern Ireland that each time you crossed a particular
bridge you had to say hello to the little people or else they would curse you. There was this
marvelous cartoon of one of the American's crossing the bridge and saying to himself, "What a bunch
of malarkey". The next lap the little folk had a rope stretched across the road.
Perhaps that is more closely aligned to what happened in this Milk Ras.
