They going to manually update all rides and thousands and thousands of gym visits, etc? None of mine are showing. I wish them well!

Me too.

Well done, bud. Crazy time... Please tell me you are 55kg and 20 years old so this old topple can feel better about himself?

Sorry, too late, it's gone already. The racing snakes are lining up.

Nee, man... You may as well then get a Harley and go full MAMIL in leather!

If you told me correctly you only got off to push three times. From km's 4 to 12, 13 to 25 and 30 to 35?

Perhaps you have been training really hard and Dorstberg has given rewards unto thee? Or perhaps your friends are just wusses?

Based on fractions of a second from time trials afaik

If it's still muddy by the weekend, the short bit of single track before theHelshoogte descent will be a log jam, especially for the faster 40km people. Relax... Chill... No need to stress. After that it will be OK. Last year they sorted the finish under the bridge through the river so it wasn't as bad as previous years. Just a short hike-a-bike.

They want to 'get everyone to train multiple times per week'. The graduation in this scale ensures that happens, unless it's a timed event and then you can do Iron Man and rest the rest of the week. And even the fitter low revvers can do 60% for a longer period which is fine for active recovery. I had to do a make up session last week on the spin bike for 90mins at 80%,and I almost died, with the sweat river running off under the other bike. So now it's much easier. Seems close to optimal to me.

Yeah, but that was sort of the point. Makes it harder for us maniacs to do it in one go, but also easier to do it in a rest week. Well done on them for listening and/or realising they mucked up the first time. Only still odd thing is the lack of distinction between timed MTB and road events. And people without HR monitors or with Apple watches who aren't serious sportspeople are still in the same boat if their points approach 900. But hey, suck it up now. You can get your points if you try!

LOL, I thought Frank was your favourite super hero. He keeps insisting I come barrel over the Lombards jump with him. Amount of brain required to perform said jump 0% Amount of balls required of an aged pensioner like myself 100%

Enjoy the single track on the 60km. ButIF you are going to change, change to the 42km. Much more challenging and fun than the 50km which is dull. Psychologically speaking. (And just so you know, Sir Mamil, Brandon78 is one of THOSE. You know, the ones who make my silly little weekly accomplishments look redundant. Listen to him at your peril. )

Go in peace, my son... But Mamil may hold it against you doing what is a new distance for him. I remember some steep slopes on the 60km last year.

Says the Demon of Dorstberg... Hmm. Advice to be taken with great caution.

Bloody Hell. WTF is the calculation on the third column? It must be based on the girth of my winkie, cause this bollocks has even left me disappointed.

Getting the ring to Mordor is easier than getting data to Discovery.

Chris Froome rides with his arms out all over the place. If it's good enough for him, it's fine for a spin warm down.

Come on, squire, you do 3,000 pts on a weekday afternoon. I did an extra 90min spin to make up for Saturday's missing data, and when the sweat river ran under the next bike, my hammie cramped and I just barely got to 142bpm average, I knew if I couldn't ride my bike up a hill, anything over 1200pts was going to be a push. Funnily enough, I will now thank Discovery for showing me how little work I was doing on the spin bike so no matter how much I hate wearing it, my HR monitor is my new pal.

1200. For now.

Auto fixed for me too. Now I have far too many points. Wonder if I can totally incapacitate the system by asking for a ride to be removed?

As I have been saying for ages, cock ups in implementation happen, and even a cyclops could have seen in 3-D what a stupid scale and/or implementation they used. But that happens. It's the appalling lack of or inability to respond to it that causes all the anger, whether through their call centres or their brokens.

It's the call center okes and IT who are stuck in their chairs all day. 'If we stuff up the system, we'll get our HR up for hours' #hubstylesmoothies #HRismybeeyatch

An annoying ex can get you 5,000 points if you attend Anger Management? I think...

Sounds like my theory that Gumtree is an online ouija board is legit
