    Just wanted to add that, Have had my butt kicked by some woman on MTB before.

    On another Note : According to this it is not required that you have a full licence to ride in Vets catogories.

    I wish that guys achieving these badges in events similar to the prize did not qualify, As they can afford these events by themselves based on that evidence. But since you know how it feels to do these events maybe you want it more. But any case I am just holding thumbs I get lucky Anyway good luck to all. Almost 3% chance so not bad

    Also completed . Last rides loaded to strava , yesterday. Not to hpefull anymore with climbing numbers of persons with 14 badges. Will be Crazy happy if I get this. Will go ride this weekend without needing badges to complete my training for the Monster next week.

    In the running but not completed yet, Where can we attach our letters pleading for an entry to the badges?

    Also have not added any badges to my 10 since Sunday. Hopefully I can get on the bike again tomorrow. Should get the 4 hour and the 5895 m this weekend leaving me the 600km and 30 hours for next week. Unfortunately the IDT does not add km's or meters climbing also not sure if it will add any time for that matter. But also only doing my training for the Magalies Monster that must reach its peak next weekend. Will be holding thumbs as this will be the only way I will ever afford to do a event like this.

    4 to go, my challenge was made a bit more challenging when my light broke last wednesday and the fact that I need to travel for work this week, confining me to IDT, but should not stop me from achieving 2 more this week and last two next week. At least then i would have done my part. Must say did 2300 m ascend within 6 hours in Pta . In Bloemfontein it would have been a challenge.

    Did not think it would be possible for anyone to get this done in two weeks. But if doing multi stage race , I can understand it. At least no one achieved all the badges in the first day, as some of challenges ran on strava.
  9. Cheese
    Will it be possible to show the number of people taking part?
  10. Cheese
    Just for clarity can the 4hours therefore also be done in any week. Away with the family , not sure if i can get in a 4 hour ride but will do it if I have to get it in this week.

    Hi, I have Merida Big Nine with the normal Jalco Big Nine rims, I bought a set of Maxxis Crossmark LUST Tyrs but now worried if it will work on the rims since I do not currently have tubeless. Bought them as they tyres on at moment is crossmark .

    do you get live pictures or news updates. I have also cancelled my DSTV due to moving, wife no longer moving etc. Missing Rugby every now and then but will definetaly miss the cycling. So if I can get help on how to see this it will be appreciated. I guess you need a lot of data for this though?

    Hi , i Am truely astonished at what is going on here. Admittedly I was looking forward to saving too which I am not gonna get and I am not joining the club. But in the end It is a cycling or running club that they started with some benefits, Which we hoped would have been better. The cycle club I belong to is R500 a year. Pretty much on par with Vitality but I do not get a shirt , csa membership and no money back for any events. So Although I will not be able to milk any cow for savings this is not really that bad a deal. Like a few guys said for newbie cyclist that get a nice shirt with the R600 . And a few buck on entries here and there. I must say I do not see the need to carry on like you guys are.

    Think its a brilliant way , Not sure what UCI will say but assumed they cleared it when I saw the post. It is also almost uncanny how almost the whole team fits in into the alphabet. Only very few that had to be given letters that does not match.
  15. Cheese
    I would guess it would be close to this barring injuries J Thompson L Meintjies N Berhane M Kudus R V Rensburg E Boason Hagen S Cummings T Bos T Farrar Lets see how far I am off.

    They have stated that the Team will by 60% African as far as I remember. Not sure about the figure but they have given a figure upfront. But that gives around 5 African a chance. Domestiques and Climbers , while leaving the sprinting to the Europeans. RJVR can come in as sprinter if he performs well though.

    Hi, This is reply on some questions I asked. . Your R600 cycling fee includes a starter pack as well as your provincial and CSA licenses. Team Vitality covers the cost of these licenses and will send you confirmation once you have been registered. If you would like a racing license to compete in elite or age groups, you would have to do this registration on your own, Team Vitality will not cover this cost on your behalf. The shirt included in the cycling starter pack is a proper cycling jersey and the voucher will be redeemable online. Trust that this assists you and we are excited with the possibility of having you part of Team Vitality. Regards, Team Vitality

    Contacted Organisers , They indicated that there will be seeding for the 2015 event.
  19. Cheese
    Also looking forward to it. Probably the 45 km as my only previous MTB events were 30km and the 40km Nissan Trailseeker , I might need to just test myself first although I would actually like the challenge of the 80 km event.
  20. Cheese
    Maybe just get a Daylicense for first one or two events of the year? The CSA membership is not that much anyway. Discovery will not pay for Racing licence only the CSA membership.
  21. Cheese
    Got reply as well and was informed CSA Membership included as Gerald said as well as fact that Cyclist will get Cycling jersey. I want to enter races at start of year though , so do not really want to wait for February for my license.

    Also no problem for me got to the 90 000 points in May already, My wife did not really do much either but had her workouts etc as back up. Fitness tests, and annual health check up makes huge difference.

    Would be Nice If Sbiragli for MTN can get there, but it does not seem they are working as team, In the last sprint he and Ciolek was sprinting next to each other and always to far back. If One can give lead out to the other maybe they can get top3.
  24. Cheese
    Have to Agree , I have Ryder 35 And have been hppy with it 98% of the time. The guys have helped me with excelent service on 2% of the cases i had issues with my belt.
  25. Cheese
    Unfortuanately , Mine is currently fading badly showing that My time has been hijacked by work and other commitments, Hope I can get it going again by the weekend.
