I would love to do this as I have never been to clarens-golden gate area, but my training buddies are all mountain bikers with the exception of the one who shall not be named who also rides on the road.

Was wondering what happened to you as I haven't seen you on Strava.

Dont think Discovery realise how many people will get burned out / overtrained and getting injuries by exercising constantly above 70% and 80% of MHR. So happy i have not taken the apple watch. Happy that i have a Polar.

Thanks Gerald I was looking for this earlier on the discovery site but couldnt find it. My eyes must be as lazy and useless as my legs.

Does anyone know how long it takes to receive the 25% or 50% cash back on the entry fee once you have completed the event and listed it under the "Claim points for outdoor activity"?

When do we get to see your new bike on the morning ride?

Take a look at the DC rainmaker review. http://www.dcrainmaker.com/2014/09/activity-tracker-review.html M400 is great for both cycling and running.

hmmm.. you must have seen someone else. Definitely not me. The sheriff was towing the bunch for most of the way, that was until I told him he needs to slow down as I couldn't keep up.

I did join during the week. Now waiting for my lic so I can enter canival without buying a temp lic.

I have the polar footpod and it does give cadence as well as stride length. For both you can see the average and the current on the display while running. I know that there was a recent update on the M400 that will do cadence without a footpod. For the V800 it is still in development. Not sure why there is a delay.

One of my friends have one and is very impressed with it. What do you want to use it for? I have the V800 and love the unit. V800 is the big brother of the M400.

I was tempted to hit the activate button on this one. But then again: I only do about 3 races a year. I have plenty of shirts and they do not advertise any group rides on the website (for just in case none of my usual buddies can join for a ride).

I still need to enter myself and the one who shall not be named

Do it at least once a week. You will need to find what works for you. I usually have a normal coffee, a cuppachino makes me lazy. Eating wise i need to stay with small portions.

Nice! So are you now member of two clubs this year? I see team vitality offers 25% back on the carnival race.

Is the shirt Full zip or not? (since i'm a girl and always need to pee before the start of a ride and wearing bib shorts) #justasking

Did not know that. How do they differ and are all of them illegal?

Getting there slowly but surely.

I'm not n big fan of whatsapp or messages. If it is important it will be a phone call. My phone has been in the hands of a little girl quit often over the festive season. So things got moved around, deleted etc. I got back to work on 29 december so no additional riding for me. Riding wise I am still taking it easy. No extra long or additional training sessions for me.

See you did a fair amount of kilometers last week. How is the body feeling?

I have given up. I used to be on diamond. About 2 years ago I did the assessment of blood pressure, sugar and cholesterol. Discovery even paid the bill. Somewhere along the line someone bliksemed my results out of their car window. I had more than 20 different query numbers, spend hours on the phone with them After 6 months of getting nowhere slowly. I gave up.

I have kept a close eye on my points for the last month and a half. Almost every week there was some kind of problem, with the exception of last week. So this week is no different. Again points are missing. And another query logged with discovery. To move up from silver to gold status I currently short 380 points. This makes me wonder how many points did I miss out on during the year. I do not really want to do the recon as it will be a hell of an exercise.

My taget is down from 1200 to 1100. The target calculation formula must be top secret.

I phone again on tuesday with my reference number. Was promissed it will be sorted out before the end of the day and the rewards are allocated. Still nothing sorted when i checked today. Im feeling sorry for the call center agent that will be taking my call at 8 am tomorrow morning as i am not going to be very friendly or patient. I used to rate discovery as a top notch company, but someone did not do their work on this program.

I am busy getting highly annoyed with vitality. Each week there is some kind of problem with my points on the active rewards program. I opened yet another query regarding missing points on Friday which still hasn't been resolved. When I followed up on it this morning I was told that they are experiencing system issues. Same answer that I get each week. So if you got the apple watch on the program. I hope the service you get is a lot better that the service I am currently receiving.
