"Sod it. To the pub..." |
You will need:
- Beer (copious amounts): Beer and cycling go hand in hand.
- Shots of Vodka: Wiggo's favourite drink (when served with soda).
The rules are simple... you must of course be watching the cycling.
This game can be played in two forms; either when you are watching the hour-long highlights programme on an evening, or, if you are a serious trooper, you can play while watching the five or so hours of live coverage throughout the day. If you take the second option I respect you highly. I don't necessarily like you, but I do respect you...
As soon as the race starts, here's what you need to do:
When a cyclist creates a breakaway, you take a shot of vodka.
When the commentators come out with an extremely dull fact (e.g. the date that a bridge/church was built), take a sip of beer.
Every time a cyclist throws their water bottle away, shot of vodka.
When a fan runs up the road alongside the cyclists, you drink your beer until they stop running.
When a cyclist takes a tumble, you finish your beer.
When the peloton catches up with a breakaway, you take two shots of vodka.
When there is a sprint, you drink from the moment the first rider starts sprinting, until the sprint/race finishes.
The last person standing at the end of the game, wins the yellow jersey...
Have fun folks and drink responsibly!*
