It feels like NTT is the specialist in starting a sprint to early...
Hi Everyone
We've moved back to GP just before the lockdown so there was not really an opportunity to go out and find group rides in the area. I've obviously googled a few places, but i would just like to hear from the folks here if there is any active riding groups atm that they would recommend.
anyone here on discovery life that can confirm that they actually deliver on what they promise. i had a chat with someone that caused my spidey senses to tingle with the promises he made. I am already on their medical aid, vitality on diamond.
i don't feel like reading through everything but my gym sessions from Friday and this morning have not pulled through yet, I hear there some issues from Friday?
No activity also pulled through from Friday. Today however i cant log in to discovery, use discovery miles or anything
The flaw still lies in their innate lack of understanding of activity and fitness/health and geospatial technology.
I do not think that a guy that runs 100 milers uses Discovery as a motivation and also does not struggle to achieve the weekly/yearly maximum goals. So even if they give him more points, what is it exactly that he will achieve?
yeah also the one activity a day thing doesnt gel well with me.
John A does a 2 hour ride on sunday and gets 300 points
John B does a 2 hour ride on sunday, then comes home and goes for a 5km run followed by a swim, but in Disco's eyes he has done the same training as John A so only gets the highest points of the 3, so probably the 300 points.
I do not think that they believe that, i think it is based on something that says you will be healthier if you do at least 30min of exercise 3 times a week. JohnB is a fitter guy but that does not make him healthier than JohnA. its the old thing that just because you are thin does not mean you are healthy or fit, or just beacuse you are fit does not mean you are healthy or thin, etc. Ideally you want to be all three. i would think that this is just to give people the incentive to get off their bum and at least do something.
Wondering how they assign value on the board to play? Frosty's biggest value is D300, on my board the biggest is D200 and on ridr's it was only D100?
Based on Disco Money? Which colour card you have?
its the same as the old system where there weren't diamonds on the board week in week out. completely random i guess
I caved under the pressure from you guys
My wife thinks I am a lunatic and gone off on a complete tangent on my new obsession.
And then the Nespresso machine stopped working...
She is a bit more accepting now
So, down the rabbit hole I go...
She will come around soon enough. I went with the apologize later rather than ask for permission approach about 2 years ago. Now a days she is the one getting cranky if i forgot to order the new bag of beans in time and critiques my coffee every morning.
At the moment I get an additional 6% discount (41% total) on local flights due to my card.
Because you moved over to Discovery Bank?
The discovery credit card at this stage only gives you discovery miles, am i right? All the added discounts on top of flight discounts etc. fell away?
Dischem? If so, that's par for the course unfortunately. Waited just over 3 for my results.
Location location i guess. I’ve always received mine that same afternoon with dischem

Think this was a flash storm. Doubt they had bags of time to make a call.
Possibly they could have split the stage. Stop an resume further down the road with aggregate times
yes maybe...dont think the stop and resume would have been more fair. i think they made the right decision, just a bit earlier would have been appreciated by the teams. But like you said, we dont know at what time this actually happened
Bernal you biscuit!
All you need to do now is drop Yates!
Why? You want him to take the stage...
I just looked on supersport schedule and cant find the ladies’s race today. Am i just missing it or is supersport not broadcasting the race?
thnx everyone, i really enjoyed this little competition on the side.
Well we’ve had quit the year in GT’s. 3 different winners and two first timers. We’ve seen main gc contenders working for their work horsmen. The flood gates opened in the vuelta for the breakaway guys....SK had a 5th and 4th in consecutive gt’s and hopefully its a promise for good things to come for him next year. Lotto jumbo grew on me this year with their performance in le tour. There was no dump on a lawn.
D-day has arrived. Big moves possibly today
At this stage im not even shouting for Yates but for that team. Theyve been close on a few other occasions. I really hope this pans out for an awesome team.
Yeah I remember those brothers. Changed over in a toilet midway. One wore the watch on left and one on right.
they tried to explain that (the watch issue) away if i remember correctly, the one brother had a scar though that is kinda difficult to explain when pictures are put next to each other

Yip, he created a gap where there was not one, he is desprate for some points and made a split second decision to go for it. Natural instinct dor these guys. Correct decision made though to relegate him
