"Eddington Number"

[nickyboy]

Ticked over to 60 today with a tough 62 miles x 5,500ft of ascent

Need another 4 x 61 miles to move it again, difficult going in the Peak District

105 miles today means ...

Your imperial Eddington Number is 100.
You need to do 9 ride(s) of at least 101 to increase it to 101.
You need to do 27 ride(s) of at least 102 to increase it to 102.
You need to do 37 ride(s) of at least 103 to increase it to 103.
You need to do 56 ride(s) of at least 105 to increase it to 105.

Started the year at 91, needing 16 100+ for 100.

E73 achieved, now 2 x 74 miles needed for E74, 5 x 75 miles for E75, 7 x 76 miles for E76, and still 54 x 100+ miles for my lifetime target of E100 (mostly on hilly routes).

E74 achieved, now 3 x 75 miles for E75, 5 x 76 miles for E76, 7 x 77 miles for E77, 20 x 80 miles for E80, and still 52 x 100+ miles for my lifetime target of E100 (mostly on hilly routes).

If I am going to cycle 75 miles in future then I am probably going to extend the ride to get an imperial century in, so any future increases will just be tracking my attempt at the 'century of centuries'.

New Eddington today up to 72 ,4 more to 73

Ooh, I'm just keeping in front of you for now, but you will soon overtake me!

I'm now on 75, and will be doing imperial centuries tomorrow and on the 13th and 20th so I should hit 76 in July and 77 in August. Beyond that it will probably just track the imperial centuries up to my goal of 100 x 100 miles and my aim is to do 13 of those a year for the Lunacy Challenge. I hope to get to E100 by the end of 2022 and that will probably be it for me. I'll be 66 by then and it would take too much effort to go much beyond 100, given how few of my imperial centuries were significantly longer.

I only need 12 rides over 75 to get there ,hope to be there by the end of the year ,Then it's another 12 to get to 76 . Considering I didn't start riding until Sept 2014 so all this has be achieved in 5 years which amazes me didn't think it would have been possible when I started riding

Today's ride saw my single ride Eddington catch up with my true Eddington number, with both now being 105.

Will be a long time before they are equal again as I only need one more 106 mile day to get the true number up, but the single ride number needs another 14!

What is the difference between single ride number and true number can you explain please.

 

[Supersuperleeds]

What is the difference between single ride number and true number can you explain please.

The true Eddington number is based on the miles you cover in a day, regardless of the number of rides you do in that day.

The single ride number is based on just one ride a day.

 

[ianrauk]

What is the difference between single ride number and true number can you explain please.

A true Eddington ride number is calculated by the number of rides and accumulated distance in a day. Ie 2 rides of 50 miles totals an Eddington distance of 100. A single ride is 1 ride of what ever mileage you did that day.

Bugger I have to stop this somewhere the single ride one is going too far for me? Or is it? I have 8 Eddington numbers. One number for each of the six bike I have an annual number and an overall number to rule them all. I keep all these numbers in an old Woollies graph book. I’m not in your league I need 2 more rides to get to 51.

Done - I'm now on 76!

I should be on 77 by the end of August and 78 by the end of 2019.
