The Peloton

The Peloton. Not your normal peloton by any stretch of the imagination. This is a unique version, that sets itself far apart from any other form of the word. It demands respect.

On any participating Tuesday night, in the pleasant upper class and mature walls of Tiger, gathers something so frowned upon by parents, so unprofitable for management, and yet so much fucking fun.
Its 15minutes before the doors even open, and the peloton meets on that gloriously filthy red carpet, ensuring front row seats. Lined up next to each other at the main bar of Tiger, at 8PM sharp are a group of friends that are The Peloton. Its free drinks night, and the Peloton is going to do what it does best, race.

The rules are simple. Buffalo applies, and when the first of the peloton is finished with their drink, everyone else downs the remainder of theirs. Easy enough right?? But wait..The goal is the part that makes it something a bit less moral than a gentle walk in the park. Like any race, the point is to beat your competitors, and in this race that’s simple. Drinking each other till walking seems more difficult than male child birth. 

To make the pelotons’ route a little more challenging, every brand of free spirits is included, involving a rotation system, of 2 rounds per spirit at a time. This ensures that the rule of never mixing your drinks that your parents taught you is completely thrown out the window.

Like any peloton, you have different jerseys’. You have your sprinters who start the race strong leading the first few rounds, then your white jersey for the one who is still proving himself, your yellow jersey for the previous weeks winner, and the polka dot jersey for who knows what..

This is a race that is not easily attempted by armatures, with our last first time challenger passed out in the car before 9pm with colorful body fluid decorations around the perimeter of the car.. you go Karl...

But lets be honest, its' brutal, but brilliant. With moves such as the T-Rex wiped out on the dance floor later in the night who can argue. Everyone needs to attempt this little bad boy at least one. So next time Tiger is having a bit of free drinks loving, come down, meet the peloton... will be a night you won't forget in awhile..
