    OK found it inside an image, but still can't find total elevation gain. Will just have to check my Garmin afterwards... Also made my own: http://www.gpsvisualizer.com/display/20170202212951-74018-profile.png

    Thanks for administering this awesome competition Matt. I had fun completing the challenges and it got me on the bike when I didn't always feel like it. It also feel a lot better earning an entry than a simple lucky draw. Hope you'll run more of these in the future. Thanks Matt, the Hub, Isuzu tracks.

    Guys, I think you would all agree that I should get one entry. From the site: "This competition is meant to see if you are tough enough. From 20 April – 17 May 2015 you have the opportunity to show us if you have what it takes" I broke my finger on 24 April and still completed all 14 badges; see, I'm Isuzu tough. Why are you tough enough?? e.g. Did anyone do this in the snow while on fire? Wanna hear your story...

    Yip, it is Monday morning and two of my badges are still not showing up. Please don't exclude me form the draw, I did all of these rides with a broken finger and would hate for technology to now destroy my chances.

    Firstly, I think the Bryton units are great and I love the brytonsport.com site. In fact brytonsport.com is what finally tripped my choice in favour to a Bryton over Garmin. But I suspect that like so many other things the local service is letting the product down. So, before you buy a Bryton I think you should know these facts that the Bryton rep told me after I bought a defective unit: Bryton SA does not see you the cyclist as their customer. You can already make some conclusions on what level of service to expect if you are not the customer. When I asked for an apology the Bryton rep said: ”Look sir, this is you local bike shop’s problem, I don’t want to talk to you, they should be doing that. You are not my customer they are.”You can buy a defective unit (broken when you open the box) that may not be replaced or repaired under the warrantee. I bought the flagship Rider 50 and it was broken when I opened the box. My LBS wanted to swop it, but didn’t have any more stock so they phoned the rep and it all started. They had to send the unit to Jo’burg to test if the defect is covered, then after the test they will determine if they’ll send a replacement unit back to CT. After my LBS gave me a new unit I asked the rep outright: “Is it possible that my unit that was bought with a physical defect might not be replaced?”. The answer: “Yes, there are defects not covered by the warrantee and not all units are replaced.” For any defect you can expect to be without your unit for a minimum on 1 week. For a clear physical manufacturing defect on their top of the range unit I had to wait 1 week. The rep came and checked the unit, at which point I expected the replacement, but no. Once he checked it then my LBS could send it to Jo’burg. My friend sent his away and he waited 2.5 weeks for the unit to be repaired under warrantee. I thought about just returning the unit and getting a Garmin, but I like the unit and everything else about the Bryton ecosystem, so I think I’ll take the risk, but if bad service makes you irate then you might wanna look around some more.
