mrbaker Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 Just curious if its just me that hasn't been on my bike since Burry was killed on Thursday? I have been quite saddened by the whole tragedy and have not wanted to get on my bike since...
Mackie Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 I've just came off a ride at Holla, and found myself thinking of him constantly. Track and Scotty P 2
DIPSLICK Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 Went riding today but I must say there wasn't to many kms that past that I did not think of him...
Guest Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 I've just came off a ride at Holla, and found myself thinking of him constantly.Same with me. I rode to work this morning thinking about him I nearly flippen cried and I've never met him. AdamA and arendoog 2
Stretch Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 Still down the coast and bike stayed at home.Will catch a ride on Monday morning
Wyatt Earp Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 I got up this morning to ride, really didn't feel like it and sat on the couch with my son watching telly.
DMC007 Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 F..kkit!! Me the same, this whole Tragedy is so unreal. Can just imagine what the Family is going thru.
Bianchi Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 Just curious if its just me that hasn't been on my bike since Burry was killed on Thursday? I have been quite saddened by the whole tragedy and have not wanted to get on my bike since... Having spent a lot of money on my roadbike before I last rode it, I have to..... but Burry is just yet another reason why I should keep my road bike for my trainer and just stick to my mountain bike.Even had an ex-pro I know, say she'll never touch her road bike again.
ibruegge Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 I'm still on leave, wanted to use the last couple of days for some training. And haven't felt like it at all.
Baldrick Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 I got my bike ready last night to do a Saturday morning club ride. It's still where I left it.
Anine Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 There's a heavy air of sadness across the social networks. Last night's pictures of the ghost bike on the nelson mandela bridge had me all weepy dammit! It has been an eye opener and a reminder of my own mortality. If this can happen to a pro, then I'm so much more vulnerable.I've re-deployed the funds I've been saving for a road-bike elsewhere and I'm changing my mtb training rides to cut out as much tar as possible,it just aint worth it M L 1
Smartie Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 Went for a ride this morning (or tried to do a ride). Constantly thinking about Burry. Turned around halfway and went straight back home. Just felt dead.
Vetseun Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 Rode with a total lack of ebergy and focus. Should have just left it
Smartie Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 Same with me. I rode to work this morning thinking about him I nearly flippen cried and I've never met him. Same here. Never met him and almost cried. For some reason his death has had a much bigger impact on me than any of the other cycling deaths? All deaths are very sad, however, this one feels different? Life is so fragile. Cannot even imagine what his family is going through...
Ryanpmb Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 Had a great memorial ride last night. Enjoyed the bikes and trails. Another mem ride tomorrow in Karkloof.
rock Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 at first felt apprehensive about going out to ride, ended up going for one of my longest road rides in a seriously long time on Friday.........lots of time to think about this awful tragedy......
