Snotklap : http://www.getaway.co.za/photo/albums/getaway-gallery/august-2016/attachment/getaway-gallery-40/ http://www.getaway.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/Johan-Kloppers-johanklop@mweb.co_.zaSnot-Klap.jpg.jpg "There is unfortunately no word in the English language for this title. We were sitting at the waterhole at Rooiputs in the Kgalagadi Transfronteir Park watching a pride of lions drinking. This male lion approached the lioness with some intentions, but as you can see from her reactions, she was not interested at all. He kept on at her, until all of a sudden she just got fed up, swung around and gave him a real snotklap. What makes this shot is the perfect timing – the spray flying out of the male’s nostrils and mouth and the position of the female’s paw, claws clearly showing, right in his face. – By Dr Johan Kloppers, Fish Hoek Canon 5D Mark III, Canon 500mm f/4L, ISO 1000, f/5.6, 1/2000 sec "

Nice set of wheels.

I have a Garmin vivoft which seems to help with getting my targets. 10 000 steps(100 points) X 7 days a week = 700 points. I hardly ever hit less than 10 000 steps a day. The vivofit records heart rate (with an ANT+ Heart rate strap) as well so you can get your heart rate related points for runs, watt bike sessions, spinning classes etc. I do have an Edge 510 which i use for my cycling. 2 workouts a week with one weekend ride and points for the steps and i could still make 1200 points a week. Whats new is that 2 hour weekend ride will now only give 600 points and not 3000. I have no problem for them moving the targets for smoothies. The poor sods that took i watches thinking that they can achieve their goals with minimal effort will now have to get off their behinds and work for their points. What also sucks, is that without some sort of "approved" heart rate monitor/device it will be very difficult to achieve points targets.

The new structure is probably what it should have been in the 1st place. What sucks is if you have taken out the i watch. They have now moved the goal posts which is not fair.

Also had 4 vouchers that disappeared. I wonder if the app update had anything to do with it. Will e mail discovery to find out what happened.

Well done to the I Train. From a passive observer that keenly followed this thread, I commend everbody's efforts. Just a few points to pose about the challenges that made this a difficult initiative. 1. The logistics in doing this at 94.7 were the start was absolutely chaotic. There are just too many people in the morning trying to find their way to the start line. 2. The start batches are huge. Difficult to get a large bunch of riders together towards the front of the batch. May work if everybody starts at the back but that defeats the purpose of your goal of a good time. 3. The nature of the course. No real flat sections apart for the M1 drag (well that's how it felt for me anyway) to favour bunch riding. Lots of ups and downs, so that the group constantly breaks up on both the ups and downs with few flats in between to regroup. 4. In an event like this you cannot prevent others from joining your train. Makes it difficult to have a cohesive group. Anyway, despite these challenges, it was a good effort. Hoping to join a Hub "I" train in an upcoming race soon. Well done.

To those of you that did not get an entry, just hang in there. I suspect that there will be many people that entered the ballot that will not ride for various. You may just get a follow up email in the weeks to come as these entries become available. There will also be many substitutions later on as well. Best of luck to everyone looking to get an entry.

Got the email. Entry done. Flights booked. Hotel booked. Cant wait,
