covie Posted July 27, 2011 Posted July 27, 2011 just got my sms with my race number, seems ill be starting rite at the back, this being my first Burger mtb  Its the burger dude its a fun ride, no point in racing it unles your start in the A group. Just too much traffic, and too many slow riders everywhere. This time im packing a picnic basket to sit and chow down while i wait for the singletrack to open up.
MTB_Roadie Posted July 27, 2011 Posted July 27, 2011 I got no sms, just a email with no details regarding my Burger number just about registration....how does that work?
covie Posted July 27, 2011 Posted July 27, 2011 Really bad communications from the organizers considering all the entries have been closed ages ago. No mail informing of registration, I havent had any sms's, And no info about start groups. Â Quite bad actaully.
