Congratulations Burry on the U23 Cross Country World Championship. Susi could only manage a tenth, but, thats the way it rolls. In 2009 Susi and Burry teamed up for the Cape Epic and dominated the event. If I remember correctly they won 5 of the 8 stages, yet still only came in sixth or something. In a day of high drama, Burry pretzelled his wheel, was assisted by a fellow competitor, but, were penalized by first 15 minutes, then later by an hour. The decision by the race commissar's was a shocker. Susi and Burry reacted by coming out the next day and just riding harder. Though they lost the race, they won the respect of every spectator and fellow rider.
Thats the lesson for trail crew members, its about the ride, the principles you're riding for, and making the most of a bad situation. And most importantly, never give up!
