Lost & Found - Die Burger MTB Challenge 2016

Image
Ever since I surviced the Dirtopia 100 Miler back in 2013, I receive an annual invite from Dirtopia - inviting me as a "top" rider to participate in the 75km Burger MTB Challenge with the 75km distance reserved for "elite" riders only. However every year something comes up to prevent me from participating and with every passing year I am becoming more and more desperate to get my entry in before Dirtopia realises their mistake and invite an actual "top elite" rider in my spot. Was 2016 finally going to be my turn to do this race? On the Thursday before the race, my bike was serviced & picked up from the shop and I parked on my usual spot in the Sanlam garage, then this guy showed up... The bastard that stole my bike Seemingly tipped off by an "insider", neatly dressed he strolled into Sanlam, heading straight for an unlocked side door in the garage, walked straight to my car & bike and off he rode with my bike... Bye bye
