Yes but its all become smoke and mirrors for average joe in the street - Its so complicated to understand and work out if you are actually getting out more than you put in. For you guys whose business it is, its easier to understand because you involved with it every day. If for example they simply did away with all the miles / boosters / cashback / points / discounts etc etc and reduced my Med Aid subscriptions based on my health and activity then id be a lot happier. I question why as a healthy active person i am still paying the same premiums as Fat Joe couch potato who probably costs them 10 times what i cost them. If i get to GOLD or DIAMOND i'm not interested in discounted flights and movie tickets - Just reduce my premiums. Maybe then i'll consider investing those savings in your bank or another financial product you have to offer. Vitality has become a money making scam

Nice to see a new fresh site well done guys - I'm sure there still some bugs to sort out, but hey what better business model when you have each member proofing your work for free. Just a thought - Why don't you allow or enable cut and paste pictures in the body of post replies, having to upload each picture the old way is ..... well so yesterday. On other forums I can open my snipping tool snip the picture or whatever i want to post and copy paste it into the body of my response post and post it - Voila easy and quick. Just do it - make us happy

Considering what vitality offered in the past as to what it offers today, its actually got more demanding and expensive with less and less benefits, yet us sheeple buy into it every year Time to dump it They trying the same thing with their bank - I mean, I really need a medical aid company telling me how to manage my money. I don't see my bank (STD bank) telling me how to manage my health.

I was on Diamond last year I've manged Diamond every year for the last 10 odd years. So its assuming i will get 90K points again this year ? Its a bit misleading - As it says i need 0 points to get to Diamond and my status is already Diamond for 2020. When clearly i still need 4200 points.

So its that time of the year again when we suddenly catch a wakeup and start running around getting our points I'm on 85800 need to get to 90000 been on diamond for 10 years plus. On their website i see this I'm reading it that i will remain on Diamond for 2020 ?? How can that be if i'm still on 85800. Anyone acre to elaborate or educate me

Not sure if this been mentioned here already. Last week i was flipping through Netflix looking for something to watch - I eventually settled on "Game Changers" Now i'm not vegan or even remotely vegetarian, hell I've even verbally bashed a few for forcing their beliefs down meat eaters throats in the past. But this movie gives a lot of food for thought - Excuse the pun - I think for a health and performance point of view its something i would try and i'm sure I would see the benefits. I do however think changing to a plant based diet after growing up on an animal based diet could be challenging - I mean learning how to cook, finding ingredients etc etc. even eating out would limit your selections as most restaurants have vegan meals on offer the lack in variety. The film hasn't changed my perception of vegans but it has changed my perception of food and what we should be eating. As a meat eater i'm gonna give it a shot

Eish !! and to think i threw out bottle cages like that about 5 years ago, they came off my DREAM. Then about 2 years back my brother an me decided to start collecting, we now have about 14 NAGO's in various stages of build and complete, some of which would look schweet with those cages

Holy s&*%t that looks like a mobile bike repair shop !!

I have used numerous hydration packs over the years and Camelbak wins hands down Not the cheapest but the best in terms of quality and functionality. Be careful when selecting the size - the more pockets the more crap you will pack into it that you don't need = more added riding weight. Bladder size = smallest you can get 2L max. and even then i rarely fill it more than half. I have place for 1 tube & 1 pocket for trail tools.

Great initiative - just an idea - take their old tubes and fix the puncture and then hand them out again

My estimated FTP reads withing 5 w of my ramp test - so i would say thats fairly accurate. However if you just started with power training then i would recommend to start every plan with an FTP test - 20 min / 8 min or ramp whichever suits you

Yes - that's what i do - I run TR off a tablet which syncs with Strava, this only because i use intervals.icu which only takes strava data to keep updated. I have a GARMIN 520 i use for IDT and outrides. It syncs with Garmin Connect = vitality points for both IDT sessions and outrides based on HR data. The Garmin data from IDT sessions also uploads to strava effectively giving me 2 workout sessions at the same time (1 from the garmin and 1 from TR) so i delete the garmin session from strava after it uploads. This for me is the simplest way of getting my data into all the places i need. The added benefit is, my Garmin picks up the Kickr data as well via Ant+ - so on Garmin connect it records power, spd, Cad etc.

COLNAGO wash day - even the rolling chassis got some attention

He was never busted, well never through testing at least - its all he said she said, pure conjecture and accusations - He only admitted to it, to get onto the Opra show

Best cyclist ever Best cheat ever Best Liar ever Best doper ever Best Ahole ever How can you not wish him the best on his birthday. Happy Happy Lance

My pleasure - hope it was the correct method. thanx for the latest update - this is fantastic, not sure what pro coaches have to say about it, but for us mere mortals its probably the best app add on for training there is. You must be commended on your work.

Okay perfect thanx

I see it only loads or displays 2 - 3 weeks of the plan. How do we get the activities to show more weeks - I have loaded an 8 week plan and can only see the 1st 2 weeks

Fantastic David, I just linked my TR calendar - look forward to seeing it on the fitness graph

Yes I have one plus all the mounts and all the goodie megafters that go with it - You need editing skills and a decent PC to make decent videos Mine now found its place next to the food blender / smoothie maker / snakwich toaster / popcorn maker / ice machine / hand held cake mixer / griller / back massager / abb crunch machine / calf exerciser / DVD - CD rack / VHS tapes / video player / 26er MTB / Electronic pic frame displayer

Fork should be the same color as rear chain and seat stays - Black Carbon with Yellow decals

Utter BS !!

Just a suggestion, maybe something to add to that to-do list Add future plans to the fitness PMC - So if I add a plan in TR i can take the TSS for each session and add it to my calendar on Intervals.icu - then i can have a graphic representation of how the plan will look on the PMC, which will help with planning etc

Don't grab your new Kicker at the bottom of the flywheel pully to pick it up, It will spin round and seriously F&^$up your fingers
