Only 4000 odd entrants so far, those are pretty good odds!

 

I was pretty impressed, was painless and quick and a kiff online vibe and got my certificate quickly.

 

Well done to Versus again.

I submitted my ride via Bluetooth from my Lezyne GPS to my phone and in less than 1 minute I got my certificate via e-mail.

Garmin owners will have to manually upload the fit file to Strava

Ja nee... too much effort for a virtual certificate.

No result for me. I did enter late, and I suspect that because I entered with my real name, and not the strava pseudonym, the system may be confused.

 

I did link my strava account tho.

 

patience, grasshopper, I suppose.

I think everyone is getting a free pair as it's a pretty generic code you need to plug into your cart.

You can buy it from me for 50% of the bike value.

Clever move by versus. I entered but didn’t ride, still got the email, landed up spending R500 on the site this morning, that excludes my free socks.

I did the same after the last virtual run... 5 pairs of socks later.

Yes, received an email.

 

Everyone who completed the ride gets a free pair. You just pay for shipping or add more pairs to get free shipping. (marketing genius :))

The free sock will actually cost me R160. I'm not falling for this one.

Never really found their socks that comfy, got 1 pair I won literally still sitting in the packaging from like last year. Falke was always better for me, but these days My feet have demanded Valera exclusivity. For me, there are no better socks out there.

 

Versus wins in the pretty game, but for running and cycling I found them very uncomfortable.
