Die Burger Road Race

[Mads]

Not nice Jaco. Hope it ends well for you.

Ok guys I am out for the race. Got a nice surprise this morning when I walked all kitted into garage just to discover that my roadbike with my brand new edge 500 (got yesterday) was stolen during the night. I am still in shock! Don't think the insurance will pay out since there was no forced entry (garage closed but backdoor not locked). Even if they pay out it is only insured for R40 000 so these days can't buy much decent for that

 

*******!!!!

That sucks big time!

Die Burger is one of Cape Towns bigest races and should be proud about it. The fact that there is only prices for the first three men and ladies in such a big event is a ripoff and a slap in the faces of all the other categories. We all pay the same entry fee and must also be allowed to race for something or is it only the elite cycles that diserve prices. All other big classics in South Africa has category prices, why not the Burger. It is not about price money but to be recognized for your hard work. Just a concern rise by a passioned cycles

You paid the same as everyone else, compete for the same prizes. Or do you want a special prize for slow people / little people / lazy people / old people ?

Bad luck man....Even tho I stay in a complex and keep my garage locked I still keep my bikes inside the house

Put out the detail and where.

That's not cool! Flip, reminds me I need to get my bikes insured, nowhere near the R40k mark but would still hurt the bank account if I had to replace them. My babies sleep in my lounge.

 

On the flip side, my first Burger and I'm quite excited. Starting E hoping I can get onto a decent group and enjoy a good day out on the bike

The same dude? That would be really ironical!

Jeez! Are the still people like you?. Its cool though bud. Thanks for the offer but the energy is not good at this stage so the race is tainted for me. Just sold my entry to a very happy eager lady so at least I can brighten up somebody's day

 

Thanks again
