Race Bulletin of the „24h of Duisburg“ 3. + 4. August 2013. Suse Rautenberg

Like every year at the first weekend of August, 8 maniac chickens met each other to defend their title from last year.

Of course I should tell you a story of the fastest round, round even more faster, about ruined tires, too much gel and less sleep. I could go on with talking about riders blocking your way, which force you to get of your bike and about the talking problems in the transition area and much more, but…

But, we´ve already heard that a thousand times before. You even could talk or blate about the organizer and the contest, that waiting for more than 6 min at a bridge is too much and makes no fun. That problem with the internet and lost round makes you feel having no fun anymore or the long endless queue at the toilet is not funny at all and that maybe a hot, or even a warm shower would be nice, even you got hot temperatures outside. But, you all know this already.

Of course we wanted to win again and of course we´re checking in the first hours every time of a round and have to discuss it, but it went over again quite fast.

The only reason why I do this adventure of “ Do you still ride or are you already asleep?” every again is, my team mates. Just have a look…

Steffi! Or better the mother of all the team, does even BBG right in the middle of the night at 3:00o´clock, or will discuss with the organizer all thru the night about missing rounds. And is smiling all day.

Pirate Duisburg4 Men – 4 Corners. I´m just wondering about the people standing beside, doing internet, smoking and just steer in the evening sky and give good advises, instead of helping…

Pitjes Peter! One of the best helpful hands in the world, which I knew. Do you need a roll? Here you are…Do you need water? Here you are…Do you need some cutlery? Here you are… Are you in need of something more? Just ask me…and not only for one person. NO for the whole team. THANK YOU. By the way, we were under-staffed because of the short term cancellation of Mister R.P. from HH….and with the equipment as well.

Dusty people. Blating all the time: about to wet, to cold, to hot, to humid, to dry, to dirty, to clean or whatever. Both of them love the dust, like myself. Never before on any other 24hrace, was the weather good like this time. You were able to ride short, short right in the middle of the night. Like a dream…

There must be order. Our own Course Supervisior Jörg B. from  R.: Offers directly good hints for everyone. Riding up the hill at the Schlacko just with 70% than to pass at the Schlacko about 15men. Yes, quite simple.

When I see this picture I get a total recall. Suse, almost asleep. Car. I think about my „Sternchen“ brought a blankie, how cute. I creep to the next sleeping back, see a naked foot, touch the foot softly, the foot twitches. I think, What´s wrong with Thomas?

Well, how stupid of me, that I confused the cars, stupid, that I touched the wrong foot. Now you know the background of the expression:…and stupid that I woke up Anne …

During the night their were just outlaws on the course. Just try to catch innocent looking Pirate girls, than got feared and crashed her. Luckily Wencke don´t got anemia and their wasn´t that much blood. But shit at all, knee thick and hurts…

Pirate Duisburg

Fighting Tough  Pirate Girl. I like the way, guys look after her. Unbelievable and totally exhausted. Awesome…

Pirate Duisburg
One of four, who got together more than 180 years on their back. The team of Volker, Jörg and Thomas. Do you hear it Arne: just listen to what the chief say. Arrange yourself, I mean not only the food.

Pirate Duisburg
Twiddle with something!

One rider with a white vest…

The reward fort he the team of four. The 2nd place overall, finally with lots of fighting in between, because of some missing rounds.

Pirate Duisburg
YES!  Finally a one a men helmet in XL again. Well, sharp tongues, talking about a BBQ for ladies when they hear about a team of 8 riding, but you must handle this, eating and riding ;-)

Conclusion: It was never this relaxed before, thank you girls, like this time. No one talked about the 1st place, about a better time or about a knot in your chain. Every girl took care of herself and we had lots of fun.

See you soon on any dusty, muddy course in Germany


Rauti.
