Last week I offered to help PPA at the Tour de Vino after the previous weeks fiasco. Karin asked me to help with the vets bunch. So I drove with the comm, loudhailer in hand, and in a civil way, helped to get them to finish , safe and no one disqualified. At some stage we passed a bunch where Mr Bellairs was riding the short route. I mailed him and want to share it.

Dear David

It disappoints me that you're of the opinion that I was aggressive helping out a commisaire at the Tour de Vino trying to keep the race safe. I woke up early, doesnt want to get paid, trying to do a good "polite" job with keeping the race safe and you say I screamed at your bunch as the vets passed you. Half the vets bunch thanked me after the race for the manner in which I acted.

You're not only a politician that passes the buck, but also a lier.

I'm also posting this on THE HUB as the cyclists need to know what happens to people that want help out. Maybe next time you can marshall instead of riding.

Groot Lem, I know exactly how you feel. This kind of thing always happens when there is an efficient "volunteer" and an egotistical "senior" orgnaiser /administrator/rank-holder.

hoekom skryf jy nie vir hom in jou eie taal nie?

ek kan dit ook nie handle as 'n mens probeer help en daar is altyd een wat dwars trek nie!

Hi All

 

I am totally and utterly confused!! Hendrik, I think the way you handled the Vets group was in fact the perfect example of how a group should be handled!! After you asked our group to drop back I was the guy in our group who told the guys to do exactly as yo had asked. I then chatted to both you and Tony and at no point did i then or have I since then implied that you were too aggressive in fact quite to the contrary ... I thought your handling of the matter was outstanding. Please could you clarify what you are talking about?

Cheers

Dave
