    On the weather...Is it safe to say that the predominant wind at around 8am to 11am, is from inland towards the sea, making a headwind out on the bike and tailwind back?
  2. clivem
    Agreed. But with all the boodle they are making from the race it would be great to see them incorporate some kind of UCI rated race and in doing so attract overseas teams (the benefits are endless). Problem is that this costs (them, the organisers) money. Surely they could make it the last day of a stage race or slightly longer and then into a one day UCI race? Or start this UCI race after the (us) weekend riders have finished their (our) fun ride. There is the option of laps, just look around the world for ideas. Over the past 20 or so years of staging the 94.7 cycle event one would think that they have made so much cash that they would say thank you by taking this bold step? IMO Cycling SA should make this mandatory for someone pulling off an event of the magnitude of the 94.7 Cycle race. No brainer really. Further this is the real way to promote cycling from the bottom up...

    $$$ is what happened. These okes run a business not a bike race.

    Thanks for that. Am I right in saying that if a flight is booked and boosted before 12 July then the max of 100% can still be achieved (if the goals are met).
  5. clivem
    Does anyone know the exact date when the flight booster will expire? The date when the ticket must be booked by. I can't seem to find the date anywhere. Thanks

    Does anyone know if you can use your iphone as a "device" to record a run for example, and qualify for the points? I can link the BT heart monitor to the phone. If so what app can be used? Thanks

    I understood that we have agreed to them "selling" our info to medical & related companies, and that's how they finance our smoothies. That's why they won't give access to this data as they don't own it.

    Thanks...So for someone paying R5k pm for medical aid & vitality (no savings) how much would the commission % then be?

    Anyone know how much monthly commission brokers receive from Discovery for a member +1 dependant?

    Had the same issue. I was told it would take another 3-5 working days (after their promised due date) due to the inter-bank payment delays It would seem that some of these payment obligations slipped thru the cracks and they needed a little nudge to authorise them....

    How many consecutive goals is everyone running with?

    Any reviews about the new Squirt SEAL sealant? https://www.bikehub.co.za/features/_/gear/gear-news/squirt-cycling-products-introduce-squirt-seal-tyre-sealant-r7558

    It will also bugger up the seedings.
  15. clivem
    I will just use the Fenix and record separately. But if you don't have another device it may be worth trying Fit File Tools.com (cf Dexter Morgan, above) where you can change the device that generated the file. Presumably the amended file will then be acceptable to Vitality.
  16. clivem
    Yes the import into Garmin works 100% but Vitality doesn't recognise the activity even though it's now from Garmin.
  17. clivem
    FYI, that doesn't work. See what Shaper says above.
  18. clivem
    Thanks for this. I thought there was an easier way. But I see their point if the file is tampered with they won't accept it. Fair enough. Just more admin now to take the Garmin along and record things there too.
  19. clivem
    Does anyone know if it's possible to get Wattbike Pro files (.tcx) into a format that Vitality recognises and accepts?

    Keep questioning advice and develop something that what works for you. The sooner we accept that most problems aren't solved by a one-size-fits-all approach, the better. We tend to be brainwashed by the people who are making serious pots of money from telling you that you will die if you don't take these pills until you die! And many would say the very last people you should be trusting on this type of debate is the pharmaceuticals. After all if you prove them wrong you are potentially destroying a massive future annuity flow up to the end of time.

    Here's the deal, first hand from Emirates contact center yesterday: Included with your ticket, you get 2x 23kg bags to travel. You can use one of these as a bike bag provided it weighs less than 23kg and the size (l+b+h) is not more than 300cm. If you have more than 2 bags, a bag that weighs more than 23kg, or if a bag is more than 300cm in size then you're in for $250 per trip.
  22. clivem
    Thanks Eldron. Perhaps if the second 23kg baggage allowance is used for the bike it makes a difference? In other words you only have one bag of 23kg and the bike (under 23kg), given that you are allowed 2 x 23kg bags. It will be better to have certainty as its a whack of money to pay out...

    Flight JHB-DUBAI-BOLOGNA. Just called Emirates. You get 2 x 23kg baggage allowance. You can use one for sports equipment subject to the maximum size & weight restrictions and was told if the baggage dimensions exceed 150cm then its $250 outward flight and $250 for inward flight. The Thule standard Round Trip Pro XT bag is 126cm+30cm+89cm = 249cm. So there's no getting away with the $250 charges then. Is this correct? Thanks.

    He tells it like it is. How refreshing.
