Bike Stolen in Austin at CapTex Tri

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm posting this for a local club member. He had his bike stolen out of transition Sunday at the CapTex Tri...shocking to say the least!

Stolen: 2008 Cervelo P-3 from the transition area at Cap Tex Tri in Austin, May 24

Please circulate this throughout the triathlon and bike community and be on the lookout for my 2008 Cervelo P-3C that was stolen from the transition area at Cap Tex Tri on May 25th. It was located in the plus 50 area for the Olympic Tri and was the first bike on the aisle a few rows down from the Elite wave.

A bag was stolen from the next row from a friend who had to have his wife bring spare keys from Houston. There was a section of fence along the river trail that had been opened for some sort of maintenance after the swim was finished. There was no guard at this area and it was not possible to see the entire transition area from the front main gate because it was so large. 1700 bikes had originally been in the Olympic transition and a several hundred were left at the time I returned to get my gear.

My shoes that had been clipped in the pedals had been removed and were on the opposite side of the rack. The transition was completely emptied by the time the police arrived.

The bike was new in March and had only two races, Ironman Arizona on April 13th and Cap Tex Olympic on May 25.
