Day 5
After a bitter defeat on home soil to "The Yank," & my brother, I decided to rethink my tactics. I decided to fill Y-man with some good strong English beer. This appeared to work as Yankee boy quickly turned red and began singing God save the Queen!! The race.....Starting of strong I could see that the yank was feeling the effects of the beer. My plan was in full swing. The hills in the opening miles were all mine. I was dominating the yank. However all went wrong on the last and final hill. A strong surge sent me flying by Wyman only for me to turn the corner and see we were only half way up. I cursed to myself, instantly died and was quickly passed by not only the Yank but also my brother. What could have been a famous victory turned to a nightmare Yankee celebration. This was to be a bad day for the Brit. My next plan is in motion but I have one final question. How much beer does it take to stop Wyman on the hills?
