The "Burry Stander Gentleman in Sport" Award

[TriGuru76]

Hi Guys

 

So the past 18hours has left me a little numb to the bone with the news of the Icon of the sport we love.

i have spent hours reading all the posts that you put on here and it brings tears to my eyes when I read it as it makes this a reality.

I also think the reason why this is such a blow to me, and I’m sure to more and more of you, is that this struck so close to home?

 

This could have been me!!!

 

Many of you have met, raced, worked and lived with Bury describe him as a Gentleman. So i was thinking on a way to honour Burry and what better way than to have an annual award?

This should be no ordinary award. this should be an Extraordinary award.

Not for performance on the field but for performances off the field.

 

So here are my thoughts:

 

The "Burry Stander Gentleman in Sport" Award should be an award to ANY cyclist from any walk of life.

it should stand out for someone who was a true Gentleman, Ambassador, friendly natured person, father, mother, brother, friend who conducted himself/herself with Gentleman conduct throughout the year.

 

I would like to encourage corporations, companies, businesses out there to add to this and link up.

This would not need to be a "1 award per person per year". this could be your own internal award!

 

So i'm posting this so all of us can contribute in setting the guidelines for others to use and introduce this award in remembrance of a True Icon, Ambassador, LEGEND...
