Continental Tyres distributor Cambrian have just got in touch to inform us of a rather cool competition they have running on the Conti UK Facebook page.
They’re offering one lucky winner the chance to visit Korbach in Germany, home of the Continental tyre plant and the only place in the world where they sprinkle Black Chili magic into rubber. It’s probably the only chance anyone outside of the bike industry will get to see behind the black and orange doors and smell the sweet scent of warm rubber being turned into German tyres.
Continental will look after the winner from start to finish which, if past experience of German hospitality is anything to go by, will involve a lot of beer and probably a fair amount of pork eating too. You’ll also get to meet bearded Ulf, tyre maker and star of numerous Continental adverts. In fact, all you’ll need to pay for is getting yourself to the airport.
The trip will be on the 17th and 18th January and you’ll have to be over 18 and a UK resident with valid passport to enter. If the first drawn winner cannot attend, they’ll then pick another winner at random.
If you like the sound of that then head to https://www.facebook.com/ContiTyres and get your entry in…
