  1. That might work for somebody with a lot of patients but since I have none it doesn't even feature in the equation. Next year they'll just change that and give less points but tell everybody that it's far better. I'm also pretty sure that they've crunched some numbers and confirmed that an "x" amount of members will leave before the 5 years are up and loose their points. We've gone from 1 x smoothie a week to 1 x cup of coffee every 3 weeks.
  2. Ja no they've screwed us good and proper - AGAIN !!! Even when they converted from the old points system to the Miles they screwed us out of a pile of money. There was way more value (for us) in the previous points system.
  3. Thanks for the pages number and a button to go back to the 1st page Would post a picture here but copying and pasting pictures doesn't work, maybe in development
  4. Great stuff. You have to embrace the mobile devices otherwise you'll become forgotten. Personally I think it would be great if you could publish the useless data stats (what phone, OS, etc) on a monthly or bimonthly basis. Just for interest sake. Then we'd also be able to see who's spending all their time on the hub instead of riding their bike (and I could negotiate with them for bike parts instead of phoning their boss) Keep up the good work !!!!
  5. I'm going to come past your house so your wife can pick my tiles. I've only ever gotten 1 x Diamond and mostly 25's or 30's.
  6. Data mining is a lot bigger than any of us can imagine. The big 4 banks in SA also have majority of their clients details, they tell you what you going to do before you do it. We becoming robots.

    If I could keep up with you, I'd be tempted to give this a go but it might be way too much for me as a fun rider Obviously my plan would just be to sit on your wheel, otherwise I might go straight instead of turning right - again
  8. This pick a tile game doesn't work for me. The best tile that I've picked was 30 points, the rest have all been 25 points. No diamonds ever !!!
  9. With all those robots in the first few km you going to need a lot of marshals there. I think the 1st half is going to be really fast. The bumps are mainly in the 2nd half of the route. A bit more climbing on this route though.
  10. A good thing that I don't use that driving app. Those logs could be used in court as evidence
  11. I'm keep an eye on the classifieds. Since I joined the hub many years ago things have really changed. Back then road stuff was a lot more and there was a lot of it. These days it's MTB stuff. Road stuff is more limited. When goods are price right they sell quickly. For me negotiating has always been part of the hub. There have been times that the seller accepts a low ball offer, other times they get pissed off. All part of the fun. Some people might be holing onto their penny's but my gosh did I see plenty of R100k+ bike at the 100 Cycle Challenge.
  12. Seems there are a few hubbers really against this race ?? It's their 1st time and they need to improve but for their 1st attempt it was bloody marvellous From the comments there is nothing different from this race to any other. 1) Some people still don't know about the 94.7 and all the closed roads 2) Riders are placed in the incorrect bunchat every single race 3) Cones have caused many a crash at various races One very big PLUS with this race is that there weren't any short distance riders causing chaos towards the finish. Don't know if they had a short distance option. It was great coming off the N17 without having short distance riders all over the place. As for the goodie bag, there an entire thread about goodie bags. For me the best thing about the goodie bag is the bag itself (pity it's white though) Personally I'd pay the R400 again to do this race again (obviously next year it will be more). Now if they just move the race 2 weeks before Shova
  13. Great race. Had great fun in AL. Pace was fast with the juniors pacing. There was a crash on the N17 apparently caused by a junior who also went down. For the 1st time it was really well organised. A few things can obviously be improved. Well done to the 100 Cycle Challenge team !!!!
  14. Need some climbs to breakup the bunches. That start looks seriously fast though

  16. I only got 600 points for C2T. These points got allocated to the Friday when the event started. Didn't really make any difference as I had already achieved my goal for that week and I've already reached the cap of 30 000 points
  17. This is such a crap event and those last 4 or 5km just made it so much worse. Whoever decided on finishing on that farm clearly didn't ride the route. From all the adjectives I heard while pushing my bike in those last few km I'm pretty sure that a good number of people won't be back to this event. Then as a bonus you cross the finish line and there's a table with polystyrene cups all filled with water. (only know of 1 person that's done this event twice. everybody else seems to do this once and never again. some of the people that were pushing with me had also done it twice but swore that this year was the last time)
  18. The organisers of this race have confirmed a number of times that this event will have FULL road closure. Will be nice if it does but we'll have to wait and see.
  19. GARMIN SYNC Every now and then a workout doesn't sync. It's completely random. I don't even bother getting hold of Vitality. SHOE BOOSTER My son has had endless sh!t with shoe booster Almost a month later it still isn't resolved and the helpdesk people at Vitality are just ****** idiots.
  20. .... and the medical industry
  21. If it does rain on Sunday morning please very careful with all the pot holes. Stay safe people
  22. I normally see a number of people buying stuff. It might the minority but people definitely buy. The people going through the envelopes are mostly volunteers and they normally affiliated with the event organises. The shop just provides a space for them, don't know if they charge for the space.
  23. Because is we are allowed to print our own numbers then the cycling shop where the numbers are being collected from will loose on sales. (just to be clear, I agree with you though)
