  1. Yes, that what the emails said to entice renewals, but latest posts on FB says no gaurentee. So either there PR guys don't know what going on (or very poor written english) or we all was suckered.
  2. No response yet from PPA about misleading advertising ? Might have serious case for Consumper protection act for false advertising.
  3. Do any one think there case for Consumer protection act for refund? I know of at least 2 people who only reason for renewing was to get beter change of a entry, no other reason. They said if you join you get early entry and priority entry, now with latest statement you just get a invite to enter with normal non members. No guarantee, no early entry .. just a simple invite to remind you to enter with the rest
  4. Water is you friend, prevents most cramping, remember, if you start getting thirsty, its to late and you are already dehydrated.
  5. They definetley still updating the results .. lots of people not started in correct groups , wrong tags.. etc etc. If you have queries, just drop them email, will get sorted
  6. Did my third 42km ... Help out with medical after first waterstop, 40min waiting about and still managed not to be last so happy ... (Hope Lady is ok, serious concussion....) At least no hold ups anywhere (noone on track anymore) and of course no more snacks/banana at any of the drink tables.. sucked a bit as I took nothing to eat. Be there next year again!
  7. Update: Seems to be issue with GPX exports from strava , direct upload works fine.
  8. Anyone else having issues with ride time vs caffee time getting calculated wrong?
  9. There still few teething issues it seems .. I logged few website "irritants" as well and they resolved it with in few minutes.. I'm just amazed about response times and willingness to resolve issues. I can live with some bugs then as know will get sorted . I logged call with strava. (Cannot edit workout on Ipad). took them 3 weeks to respond saying its known issue and don't know when it might be fixed.. that just @#% me off but who can go without Strava
  10. Click on your name (top right) then my my plans .. should get you to page where you can add more plans or delete/view/edit current
  11. Did that last night, just log a call on the site and they'll fix it quickly
  12. Sorry, but there is NO comparison between fittrack and Today's plan training plans.. the one is like giving you a pen en paper and say draw your own mona lisa vs taking you to the the Louvre with full guided tour, almost doing the training for you The mere fact they have Sufferfest training sessions build in and it works on there app sold it to me (now just need to load all of them) edit: No affiliation... just already addicted
  13. I signed up yesterday, very impressed with site, can see its old web devs that done it , still few minor bugs etc, but overall very good. One thing I cannot figure out is: When you rate your workouts and how you feel, does the plan automatically adjust for more or less load like a real life couch would do? ps: android app is very much alpha still.. keeps on crashing and RFKT/Cadence etc don't work althouh paired and testing fine.
  14. Is R 800 not for overseas entries? EDIT: South African residents: R470 Rest of Africa: R800 (includes Mauritius) International entries: R800 PPA members will receive a discount of R30​
  15. Dear L*** Please note that despite the reduced distance on Sunday, we unfortunately cannot allow anyone to ride the route twice or to reuse any portion of the route to get home afterwards. All emergency services have already been fully stretched this week as a result of the fires. We appeal to you minimise their already difficult task by not congesting the route more than it already will be. Many of you will be finishing before others have even started. Please allow those riders to enjoy the route in the same way you did. Thank you for your understanding The Cape Town Cycle Tour Team
  16. On website: http://www.cycletour.co.za/new-route-info/
  17. My brother is 50 odd, peak heart rate still at >190. Mine is on the numbers at 181 for 38. The "formula" have standard deviation of 20 (if I remember correct) .. which means if you get your number it can be up or down by 20 beats and still be a valid statistic. So for age 40 your range can be 160 - 200 for peak heart rate, if you use formula of 220-age. L:
  18. Hope you had checked out.. Very often quick fix. My X had same thing, was 15 min or something operation (burned one of the nerves or something to the heart) and never issue again.
  19. Crap. Missed it. When you going again?
  20. Ok, they responded, working on the issue edit: Fixed
  21. Sh^@t, I just managed to log into other website that use the ID numbers as security within 30 seconds using info gathered from https://www.asgevents.co.za (A friends Details that I did not have before) I also contacted them stating to remove it, hope they do it before scammers get the info.
  22. I often go up to 220 (and my max is 181)... Its normally when the heart rate sensor dries out to much (downhills, cold , etc) and don't make contact to your skin properly . Search for heart rate monitor spikes on google. lots of info about the issue.
  23. Thread still ok on tyre?
