Thanks. Luckily I stay on quite a big property, so have built a small trail that I can cycle round to maintain fitness, and keep losing weight. Not great photos, but left one was August 2019, right is January this year, same shirt, but 14 kg lighter.

Finally broke under the 100kg barrier towards the end of last month 99 on the 1st of April. Last time I was below 100kg was back in 2014.

Well the Scott Spark 900 Pro SL is R 200k at cyclelab. Think there is also a road bike for that sort of money. But it is a mark of the sport that prices are increasing above inflation (Spark 910 which was under R 50k 5 or 6 years ago is now north of R 80k for similar level of components)

Beretta make seriously good shotguns. That 1301 comp looks cool. And the Silver Pigeon is a very nice shotgun. Won't go wrong with it.

Where was the crash you heard? Was it the one coming up to the finish?

Seems to have been resolved. Got my points for last week, and got my 100 instant miles. But no plays. Probably will have the extra play next week.

Would be from meeting Health, drive and money points requirements. If all 3 are met, you get a bonus play

Still showing on the site that there is a problem with gym visits and points not pulling through. Not sure how much longer it will go on, but I have now got a missed goal for last week, where I should be 100 points over.

My Garmin workouts and steps have pulled through. But not my Virgin Active 100 points, since last Wednesday (5 different ones). Monday pulled through fine Edit: see that discovery is aware of the issue going back to the 14th, and are trying to fix it

Very nice looking rifle that. Enjoy

Not a great 2018 Ito weight loss. Didn't sign up in 2019. But started eating better and training more from August. August 2019 116 kg. November 110. Now 105kg. Aiming for sub 90kg and then will reassess where I feel is my healthy weight and push from there

I know there was some concern about the 40km mixing into the main race, but from my perspective it seemed to work fine. Haven't been training enough this year for the full race, so entered the 40km. Didn't see any real drama on the route (but wasn't in the unseeded groups from both races). Ended with 1:35 Seemed to be a success for the first time implementing a 40km on the route.

Ja my ride from yesterday morning is still not showing on Discovery. Should be 300 points (+1hr at 70%). Going to see after a ride today if it syncs

Nice cool place to store a link is in the Lyne components in case link top cap. https://www.on-lynecomponents.com/collections/incase-link-case/products/the-incase-link-case-top-cap Can put any beer cap on top, or buy a custom one from Lyne.

Top of PWC Bike park Inca trails on Thursday.

I had a P8lite. Initially could connect to the watch for activities. However, something happened with the Bluetooth. Became very unreliable with any Bluetooth device. Couldn't get it to connect with my Garmin Forerunner 25, or any car Bluetooth radio.Went to Huawei, reset all factory settings. Couldn't get it done. Emailed Garmin as well. They said that there has been issues with the Bluetooth certificate of Huawei devices. I am currently using the Nokia 8 for over 1 year now with no issues. I would personally recommend getting a Nokia. Built very strong (check Jerryrigeverything on YouTube). And stock android, most on Android One program, so very fast software updates. The 6.1 is a very good device for similar money to the p20 lite. Edit: you can get the 8 (2017 flagship device - same processor as Samsung S8) for R 4,100 on Takealot. 2 years old yes, but already on Android 9, but may not get Android 10.

Another week, another 25 points. Have had horrible luck. My pic was between a 100 point, and a diamond

3 plays, sum total of 80 points. Still have not got better than a 30 point yet

I don't know which groups you guys were in, only seeing a few cars coming from opposite direction on the R511. I was near the middle of LL. We had cars and motorbikes coming both directions, and a few of them were far to close for comfort, we had to ride left of the yellow lane. Cops obviously opened up for them to come through, which they did at speed, some hooting to force us over to the left so they can get through.

Great race, quite scenic. Tom Jenkins caught me again. But a bit disappointing that it's advertised as total road closure. Nearly taken out by a couple of taxis at about 30km mark. Then again at the hills near hartebeespoort, some of the motorbikes and cars were far too fast and far too close. Otherwise a great race. Will be back next year with more fitness and better seeding.

They responded that they will give me the missing play next week, in addition to this last week's one. So good response from Discovery. But we'll see next week. Still a bit annoying that we have to follow up with them on stuff that shoull be automatic from their side. Will claim the points for the Tshwane classic tomorrow, just to be sure

Sent, and got the points, but no plays available. Now querying the play as well.
