First year i will be able to do this event. Every year this falls in our annual Namibia holiday. This year we get back the week before the event. Looking forward to it. Will only do the 40km though. Dont know how much will be in my legs after 2 weeks of sitting in a bakkie everyday, sleeping in a tent and eating and drinking the whole day.

That one bike on the left is missing some parts...

The older your seeding races get the higher a penalty they carry, as far as i know.

OMGawd i wants this

and welcome to discovery where your opinions dont matter and the points dont count. (do you remember "whos line is it anyway" HAHAHA)

if you planning on reaching your goals every week and she already has an iphone get the iwatch...

what did you say about an umbilical cord, nah i'll take a pass.

datum...!

Afrikaans - my eerste taal...and now you have just made me miss my mom as she always corrected my languages, but thanks!

True that. So i would disagree with you on this. (being a fat guy) my body works twice as hard as the person next to me to maintain the same speed. Hence why i cycled on saturday for 5hrs at 171avg (which is actually 90% of my max) and my buddy next to me hardly moved out of zone 2. I would like to think that i would need to be awarded more points than him as he was cruising and i was going balls to the walls.

We had a discussion yesterday at lunch regarding this...AGAIN!!!!!! Someone asked (not in the program) what does the consumer protection act say about this. I've been thinking about this and i would really be interested to hear from someone that knows a bit more. yes i know we signed all the contracts and ate all the cheeses etc. But the consumer protection act is there to protect the consumer against bullies that miss leads clients and then pray on them. Not saying Disco is a predator and i am the prey, but changing the goal posts so drastically (yes yes i know its in the terms and conditions) and then having quite a few people that will not make the cut any longer isn't it a bit of a bullying. This is where the discussion become interesting, people took out the watch after they saw how easy it was to get your weekly goals, didn't that set president. and then Disco went and changed everything and now people without HR monitors or the specific brands of devices are really screwed. Don't flame me, i am just trying to see what other thought about this, i am not too familiar with the CPA to say if this is kosher or not.

They wont care what anyone says...

got 3000 points for yesterdays vigorous 210mins ride...

I kakked off so bad on this event last year I promised myself i wont go back. Cycling through a plowed field was not fun. Enjoy guys!

exactly my thought and it only took 2mins including drinking coffee and riding at gspot with the new wheels.

So with discovery cancelling my vitlaity my gym membership's debit order went from R140 to R750...after spending an hour with the callcentre on the phone on friday they promised it will be activited on friday but will show on their website by today, guess what, its not there. So now i have to phone the quality trained staff again...

I think they dropped everyone to 300 just to keep the masses happy for now, lets wait 3 months and then only a small percentage will get their coffees. As far as i know if you only reach 300 or upload 6000 worth of points rides you will be raised with 50 a week. Atleast thats how it has been working up untill now.

They gave everyone 300, or it would seem that way. Me on the otherhand, i moved from discovery to my company's medical aid which is also discovery underwritten/administrated or something and they stuffed up my application and cancelled my vitality. And their callcenter is a joke. On my application form i wrote to move my vitality, i phoned in after i sent my application saying please move it, yesterday phoned them and said please move it, today its not moved. I phoned and the lady on the move tells me why didn't i ask them to move it...HAHAHAHA

already have the kakwatch for my wife so even if they do add these i can only get it in 20+- months. Unless they make it that you can take more than one "fitness" device.

I was reading users comments on their FB page, they actually recommended a user switch off his fitness device when they start with recovery so that his average heart rate does not drop too low. WTH?

I see they are deleting the posts where people are sharing the link. hahaha

Spoke to someone who is in the know, it looks like roughly 500m climbing, they start with the hills to separate the field. Keep in mind this is not from the actual start at lourensford, i think the first 5kms was a commute there.

Ek het al n 40km daar gedoen in die ou dae se spur challange...ons gaan soontoe ry en terug ook, goeie oefening vir die 50 miler, of ek gaan my vrou bel om my te kom haal na die tyd.
