Cant wait to go riding! For the next 8 weeks it will be work and ride to keep my sanity before my wife and kids arrive[emoji22] . Sent from my HUAWEI VNS-L22 using Tapatalk

This weekend is my last on South African soil. Flying out on 27 th and landing the Saturday...work starts the Monday already. Looking forward to meeting you guys! Sent from my HUAWEI VNS-L22 using Tapatalk

Thanx Haley.Container to follow (and wife and kids), but bike NEEDS to come with[emoji4] . I read on other sites not a good idea to load the bike bix until you get to 30 kg, they then tend to abuse the package....they dont like to lift heavy objects. Might then go with Wayne's suggestion of ubag. Hope to be riding with you guys soon. Sent from my HUAWEI VNS-L22 using Tapatalk

Will do thanx. Plan on full service and clean before I bring it over. Any suggestions on the best way to do this?

Hayley - Flying with Emirates. Will be based in Auckland North (Rodney district) as my work is in Northcote and at this stage looking to live in Gulf Harbour area.

Hi Guys. Just as I thought this is never going to happen, my offer came in Wednesday night and I resigned yesterday from my SA job. I managed to move my start date out, so I will start on 1 May. Hope to meet most of you on here and getting some riding in. What is the best option to get my bike there ASAP?

I have not been paid my Vitality drive rewards for December either, and up till now, they have paid every month for the last year on time (between 11 and 15th of month). So maybe they have genuine issues this time around.

From what I heard, you have to use an agency (registered emigration officer). So far I can definitely recommend Intergate (https://www.intergate-immigration.com/). Their fees are good, service excellent and they don't ask you to hand over all the money at once, you pay as your application progresses.

Thanx to Wayne and all of the hubbers in NZ that posted on this thread, very informative! I am in the process of job finding (using a recruiter in Auckland) and if all goes well, I might be lucky enough to join you guys on a ride. Main concerns are as everyone else with regards to salary and living costs, my previous COO moved to Auckland in December and provides me with feedback (although money is of no concern to him!) so I might just have a couple of questions for you guys down the line. Wayne, would it be OK if I PM you in the next couple of weeks/months if I have questions? All the best for the new year, hope you guys are happier with each passing day.

Was my first Ultra as well. Hated it! But 3 minutes after the finish, I realized I cant wait to do it again!

Was contemplating one, but FOX shops happened to be running a sale now so went with the Metah for R1450[emoji41] Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

Agreed, surely he did not win by such a big margin? Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

Also reached the 90000 for gold this morning, and did exactly as Myles describe above, but added the fitness assesment at biokineticist for myself as well.

Did mine last week. Received an email from CSA today stating my lic was renewed via discovery and I can login on CSA website to view

Ahhh....that wil make more sense then...wil need to get the wife active

One thing I cannot find an answer for is the following: With the flight rewards that will kick in (allowing one to get 5% extra off for every weekly goal achieved from date of purchase up to date of flight, and yes taking into account the 4 goals you need to meet first) the question is: If my wife, who is on the same vitality policy also activates her rewards scheme, but does, or does not meet her targets, how will that affect the reward for the tickets I bought? Or will it have no impact at all?

The 3000 is for 2h as stated on points breakdown.

Thanx. Will try it out if I can manage to get someone to go with....

Thanx, I think I know where that is, will give it a try. Attached is the route I am familiar with.

Hi LTG, looks awesome, how exactly do I get to that part of van Gaalen? Do you have a gps file perhaps?

To everyone battling with Strava and points, I experienced the following today: 1. Uploaded my Garmin workout file yesterday to Strava only, and deliberately stopped it from syncing with Garmin connect. End result, no points after a day! I then uploaded it to Garmin connect, and my points reflected within 5 minutes. 2. Uploaded my wife's phone workout to Strava, no points! Created a Garmin account, linked it and points on Discovery within 5 minutes! SO in my experience the problem seems to lie in retrieving the info from Strava.
