"Eddington Number"

[ianrauk]

Wahay.. with today's 200K Audax.. an Eddington of 108 has been reached. Need 6 109's and 9 110's.

 

[StuAff]

As of yesterday (66 plus 3.5 plus 30.5 miles), Eddington of 100. 10 101 milers needed to get to 101.

I need two more 55+ mile rides to go from 54 to 55

I reckon us hilly folk should get a dispensation. Today's 55 mile ride had 5,800ft of climbing. There is absolutely zero chance of me getting a 60+ number cycling around here

Then do what a few of us do. Go further afield by train or car.

@jefmcg

Joan, is there any chance you can tweak your site?
Where it says
You need to do 1 ride(s) of at least 108 to increase it to 108.
You need to do 10 ride(s) of at least 110 to increase it to 110.
You need to do 134 ride(s) of at least 150 to increase it to 150.
You need to do 197 ride(s) of at least 200 to increase it to 200

Could you change/add to the first 3 figures. ie 108,109,110, 150.. I am sure not many people unless they are Steve Abraham will need or ever get to 200. I know I certainly wont.

If not, no biggy...thanks.

Done. And it's not making me happy.

 

[ianrauk]

Thanks. Looking like a 110 may be reachable by the end of the year.

Well I'm happy with that, I thought I would be in the low 60's and with the Ride2Monaco at the end of the month that'll take me up a few more places..Don't worry @ianrauk it'll be a long time before I get anywhere near your number. imperial Eddington Number is 77.
You need to do 1 ride(s) of at least 78 to increase it to 78.
You need to do 3 ride(s) of at least 79 to increase it to 79.
You need to do 5 ride(s) of at least 80 to increase it to 80.
You need to do 23 ride(s) of at least 85 to increase it to 85.
You need to do 33 ride(s) of at least 90 to increase it to 90.
You need to do 47 ride(s) of at least 100 to increase it to 100

Your imperial Eddington Number is 91.
You need to do 2 ride(s) of at least 92 to increase it to 92.
You need to do 9 ride(s) of at least 93 to increase it to 93.
You need to do 17 ride(s) of at least 94 to increase it to 94.
You need to do 22 ride(s) of at least 95 to increase it to 95.
You need to do 28 ride(s) of at least 100 to increase it to 100.

Hopefully with a good run of weather I will get some big commutes in and get close to 100 this year.

Then it is on with getting 100 100s in single rides; currently on 41 so a loooooooooooooong way to go!

Thanks to @jo from the other place

You know when you feel you are getting back into your stride? Right now I am finding 100km hard work, but I have a mental vision of doing a few more until I feel ready to sign up for a 200km audax, and a gentle dotted line towards LEL in a year. Last time I felt like that was last January, with PBP in my sights. 2 days later, I broke my clavicle. This time it's patellar tendonitis. Hopefully I can kick it in the butt before it shakes my shakey resolve.

 

[ianrauk]

@redflightuk , so with the Monaco ride done .. the result?

 

[fimm]

There are definitely some long rides missing from Strava - I'm sure I've done at least 4 100 milers. Not a big problem!

I didn't realize that site was jefmcg's site which led to some confusion in my head when it wanted access to my Strava details but had a picture of jefmcg there. I couldn't seem to compute what the hell was going on for a second.

I'm in your mind!
(everyone else who writes websites that use the strava API have cool logos that are all techy and cycly and hard. I have an old picture** of me in a dress with my folding bike)

Edit **which I just used again today
