Stellenbosch Mass #RideForBurry press release To lose a hero hurts. Everybody was stunned by the death of Burry Stander. On petition for the greater safety on our roads and in remembrance of Burry, mass rides are held all over South Africa. Ehlers Smit and Hanno Lategan, two avid local mountainbikers from Stellenbosch, decided to have a ride in Stellenbosch. The event was created on Facebook and shared on Twitter. It was asked that all rides will be kept on hold to have everything in place, to have proper and safe mass rides, but the response from the public was so overwhelming, that there was no way in postponing the Stellenbosch Mass #RideForBurry. With the help of Bobby Behan from Specialized South Africa, the ride is on full swing, and about a 1000 people are expected. The Stellenbosch Mass #RideForBurry will take place on the 6th of January 2013, 8:00 from Die Braak, c/o Bird and Plein Street, Stellenbosch. Riders should please note that the wearing of helmets are compulsory and the rules of the road should be adhered to.
