I've just found out about Eddington numbers from a LiveJournal friend and I'm currently 44, pretty close to the 48 mark. It's been nearly three years since the last Eddington post. How has your E improved since?

I'm guessing my Eddington number would be quite low just now as I'm not cycling every day.

I amI'm not anal enough to care.
I just looked at my stats since Jan 07 and I've done rides of 81miles or greater 81 times so I guess that's my number.Three years ago (25th Nov 08) it was 57 (I'd travelled 57 miles 58 times).

Chapeau number one for keeping your stats over 4 years in such good order!
Chapeau number two for being able to work your number out!
Biggest chapeau though has to go for doing over 81 miles 81 times!
I now feel all inadequate

But have you done 1 x 1 mile followed by 2 x 2 miles or more then 3 x 3 miles or more rides then 4 x 4 miles or more rides and so on....
The minimum number of rides to get to 81 is 3,321 (81+80+79+78+.........3+2+1)
which assumes that the rides always increase in distance at each increment of the Eddington number.
57 miles times 58 miles does not count unless you've done 56 miles 56 times prior to that and fifty five miles fifty five times before that and remembering that rides can not be double counted. so you are looking at 1813 rides to get to an Eddington number of 57

I'm not sure that is right
If you do 67 rides of more than 67 miles then your number is 67..there is no need to go through numbers 1 - 66 first - but I may be wrong

It's a bit more complicated than that...

You're right - unless Vernon can tell us away of cycling 67 miles without also cycling 66 miles.

I disagree with me too on re-reading the guff on Eddington numbers
I put it down to lack of sleep and pies.

I've been gawping at my Endomondo stats trying to figure out what my Eddington number is, and from what I can figure it's, um.. er... 3?

Keep in mind that if you've cycled six miles five times, that makes your E 5. You don't have to do five miles on five occasions to hit it.
Looking at your stats you are at least a 10 as you have cycled at least 10 miles on 10 or more occasions.

It made my head hurt so I stopped looking at the stats.
It's a funny old system because I cycled 500 miles last month but it's very rare that I have the time for a very long ride so I have a low number.

I've kept a record since 2009 and my E number is a modest 32 - nothing like 81! I've got it in my signature and if I get out tomorrow I should hit 33.
