  1. It's one company Miles and how they do the little things reflects on their core business. I am a customer of Discovery. Not a customer of 3 separate parts of Discovery.

     

    Not once in this thread have I moaned about VAR points allocations or "subject to changes" but when they can't do the simple things like read a file synced from Garmin and Polar and allocate me the points, then ask for screen shots I start to question their willingness to meet obligations.

     

    My weekly interaction with Discovery is on VAR, not life or medical aid. VAR is what forms my perception of the company. You are saying it's unreasonable to question their commitments based on this perception. I'll be dead so can't fight them if they don't honour their commitments which is my perception right now based on their incompetence displayed in this programme.

     

    Agreed. It's the small things that define the whole. 1 company.
  2. Sadly too many places to take short cut and then inaccurate results in the end, even for some top places in the 60km.

    I followed the markers - which were clear and visible - and had a good ride. I did hit a rock with my shin at km26 of 38 . Luckily managed to complete the race (whilst still following the designated route albeit moving to the side for the more able riders to pass ) before spending the rest of Saturday in hospital. No broken bones just tissue damage and swelling. Thanks to those who helped me and to those who offered too.

     

    My point:

    I did the race/ride because I wanted to.

    I followed the routes and rules because I wanted to.

    I finished because I wanted to... and because pain induced adrenaline told me to.

    I did not cheat, because that's stupid and only fools ones self.

     

    Hopefully I will be back on my bike soon.

     

    To the cheaters, mmmm well...

  3. Discovery = incompetence when it comes to their rewards system.

     

    Log complaints backed up with actual data from Vitality approved Garmin products and they still mess it up.

     

     

    I hope those on this forum working at Discovery in the rewards department are capable of feeling absolutely embarrassed.

     

    Don't offer a rewards system that does not function properly. Teething problems this is not. This is pathetic. This is not the first time we have experienced such problems and we are not alone in these.

     

    At least Discovery med aid still seems to pay.... at times.

  4. Where has my bike taken me today? To hospital after smashing a rock with my shin on the Subaru hunter series 4 yesterday. My bike took to me to the finish 9km away after the fall. Know broken bones just soft tissue mess. Swopped the bike for crutches for a little while

  5. Hi thanks. It is the Chris Willemse stand. Probably not the sturdiest stand but at R450 on special, I can't really fault it. For home use it is perfect.

    Thanks. Sorry for the tangent. It's just that the park tool and similar are quite pricey so was interested in what the cheaper versions were like.
