    947 Ride Joburg

    Anyone had success getting into the expo with just the email no QR code? I am loathe to go all the way out there and then not be allowed in…

    has he driven it yet? (Edit - never mind google was my friend) https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2017/may/03/fernando-alonso-learns-some-crucial-lessons-in-rookie-indy-test
  3. how far is Robben Island?
  4. but there is 120mins between 10pm and 12am.... only need 30...?
  5. Anyone had issues with activities after 10pm not registering (garmin)? (Or perhaps I am the only person doing such things...) I see in their "known bugs" list they mention sometimes these reflect next day - but in my case 3 times they have just not registered... Discovery have credited after sending screenshots but its a pain to have to keep having to go through the PT to get my points... Wouldn't bother for a smoothie but now I need to cover the wife's apple watch and my get my shoe booster cash back. I have been captured!

    Formula 1...

    Remember Braun? A few spacers and Bob's your uncle - they got it sorted in a couple of weeks I agree the excuses are valid, but fact is they were only 1 year behind the other manufacturers in what was a completely new formula for everyone, and the excuse cannot fly indefinitely. If they are not on the pace by the third or fourth race of this season, McLaren will have no choice but to look to a plan B as soon as they can get out of their Honda contract. Thing is, I cannot see why Merc would want to supply them with an engine and potentially go back to the days where their customer routinely beats them...
  7. I'm floored. Fight Barry.

    Formula 1...

    guys like max and Hamilton manage it... I like the new cars - the wider tyres and lower rear wing make them look far more like F1 cars should look. Just a pity about the shark fins / aka advertising billboards.
  9. So, now that my wife has the iwatch 2 (which I am impressed with bar the battery life), she is actually hitting her targets each week, and could use a couple of team members. So if anyone needs another team member pls PM me.
  10. hmmm... someone let us know once you have your 2017 licence confirmed plz!
  11. thanks.. pity that. I was about to re-join but currently don't do enough races to justify without the licence included. May go back to a club that actually offers club rides... I don't see the basis for the fee being twice the running club fee with this change... On that, have renewed run membership - that's a no brainer esp with the shoe booster or whatever its called included.
  12. Awesome thanks. Glad I waited to get for my OH, looking at it, it seems a decent upgrade. Aside from GPS, will now do swim lap tracking, amongst other things. Also will work with the new airpod cordless headphone thingies - in th case of the I watch this makes a lot more sense than the I phone...
  13. Sorry if this has already been covered, but I can't find... So with the new apple watch announced and now including GPS as hoped, can one get on the apple watch benefit? Presume the "free" offer is based on the old model - but can you pay in? Anyone have details?
  14. mine has been fine... have you tried the old de-link/re-link?
  15. hmm... mostly good but I would want to be sure easy to drop in and out of the endurance / high performance program otherwise potentially stuck at 1200max when training doesn't include long rides... Disappointed no Strava solution - means my OH is still on the sidelines... (still waiting for new i watch...)

    Its Its a pretty stupid rule in the first place, but I agree - now we can expect teams to take the chance - precedent has been set. Would have been well worth Hamilton's while to take the 10 sec penalty in baku - he lost 4 or 5 times that in about 20 laps IIRC

    slick!
  18. One would think... but the tweet was in reply to a comment about power and TSS being ignored... Basing on TSS would be a good option... power not so much given limited number of power metres out there... Also spotted this, which means my OH could possibly get some points once again at some point in the future...: Discovery (@Discovery_SA) 2016/06/09, 12:44 PM @kevin1craig Hi Kevin, we are looking to re-integrate with Strava, however there is no details available in this regard as yet.

    things are looking up in F1... Ferrari and RBR definitely getting closer to Merc. Enjoyed this banter between Vettel and Hamilton re the chilled out sea gulls in Canada... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpYeiQmgq70&feature=share
  20. strange - my oh isn't a member and pops in to our local VA to redeem my smoothie vouchers on a weekly basis with no issues...

    Formula 1...

    Awesome to see some real competition for both pole and in the races. Hope it continues - Clearly the red bull chassis is the real deal, but Canada is a power circuit so this will tell us how much of an upgrade the new Renault engine really is... Rosberg must be licking his wounds - that was a trouncing of note for the "run away" world champ leader... Kudos to him for moving over though.
  22. HR of 123 for around 300 watts for almost 7 hours! I don't think I go as low as 123 on my easiest of easy recovery spins... Finely tuned machines
