HairyLegs Posted December 7, 2015 Share Also got one. The site has no encryption and they are asking for your fullname and ID. I for one am staying away from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I emailed the Cycle Tour earlier to query if genuine. If they say it is, I'll raise this with them. There is no way they can insist on people providing personal information over an unencrypted connection - although TBH, I still have no clue why they need as much information as people are saying this asks for.

BigToe Posted December 7, 2015 Share Called them and it is legit. A bit odd that its compulsory though. I suspect a condition of Mediclinics sponsorship that they are allowed to survey participants...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence whatever you entered can be sniffed by any connection in between Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkerr Posted December 7, 2015 Share If I have to update the medical form one more time Sounds like a lot longer than the usual medical form. Might be an exaggeration - but 1 FB post said 20 pages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avatar Posted December 7, 2015 Share load of bollocks, filled in half of it and then it bombed out, not doing it. one question asks, "Do you experience cramps on the bike?", simple "yes/no" so yes I do cramp, mark it, up pops another 20 sub-questions! So no, I dont cramp on the bike anymore... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkerr Posted December 7, 2015 Share I presume, since this information was not requested for the SCT on 29 November, that my personal safety must have been put at risk for that event by them not asking for all of this then? Or maybe the stuff we fill in for Racetec was adequate all along .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edge_Design Posted December 7, 2015 Share Will be interesting to see if someone really challenges this and whether they can actually make it a compulsory requirement for entry (especially with it only coming up after accepting full payment for the entries).

FootballingCyclist Posted December 7, 2015 Share Put in my last name and DOB as requested on page 1 and it tells me that nobody with this name has entered Confuses me though because 1stly I received the E-Mail so I was obviously lucky enough in the lottery, 2ndly My name nor my DOB have changed as I am Not Bruce/Caitlyn Jenner and 3rdly when I clicked "home" after it gave me the incorrect name error, it went to University of Pretoria's home page... So how "compulsory" is it actually?? And for the record, my surname has an ' in it, if it does not recognise me with the ' then I have been registered incorrectly on THEIR system so this is NOT my fault!!

gwhite Posted December 7, 2015 Share I just completed mine now after the first time it just bombed out but I was wondering if there is any notification now letting us know that they have received a completed questionnaire from us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
