106 miles today means:
Your imperial Eddington Number is 101.
You need to do 18 ride(s) of at least 102 to increase it to 102.
Found it quite tough today - maybe not riding for 11-days, including 7-days on a seaside diet, isn't conducive to cycling.

Ticked over to 61 today which isn't bad when you live in a mega-hilly place. Having said, that, today's ride was down in to Cheshire and thus a fair bit flatter than usual
Another 7 >62miles to get up to 62....sigh

8 of 81 or more, so reckon that'll be the end of the year if I complete the century a month challenge
Well after today's ride(s) I've hit 81 this month, a little earlier than expected
3 of 82 or more for the next step up, so should reach that in October, all being well

Slowly creeping upwards, now on 54. Lack of 100 mile rides is going to start hurting that number soon...

Stuck on 62 for the foreseeable future. 67 rides of 62+ miles done so far, and only 55 rides of 63 or more. Doubt I'll ever get to 64. If I do three more years of the Metric Century-a-Month Challenge, I'll do a crafty switch to a metric Eddington number when it passes 100.

Same problem here. Long rides are really hard here so quite a few just tick over 100km and no more. My volumes go off a cliff at about 63 miles. I need 6 @62 and 11@63 which are doable. But then I need 19@64. Planning a LEJOG next year which will eat into those though

Friday/Saturday's exertions (Pompey-London for the FNRttC, then London-Brighton), plus a couple of 106 milers in the previous fortnight, have finally nudged the number to 102. 103 needs 15 rides. 2022 or thereabouts, probably.....

How could I forget? As of Monday I have a new E-number:
Your imperial Eddington Number is 118.
You need to do 8 ride(s) of at least 119 to increase it to 119.
You need to do 14 ride(s) of at least 120 to increase it to 120.
You need to do 25 ride(s) of at least 121 to increase it to 121.
You need to do 55 ride(s) of at least 125 to increase it to 125.
You need to do 85 ride(s) of at least 130 to increase it to 130.
You need to do 138 ride(s) of at least 150 to increase it to 150.
You need to do 199 ride(s) of at least 200 to increase it to 200.
That includes "legacy" rides, recorded manually. If I only count rides recorded with GPS I'm on 103. I suppose that's my Geddington or G-number. But that would imply that the first 242 century rides didn't happen...

Haha, in truth we're probably equal on that count. The day I rode 200 miles I had to do a circuit or two of the Bristol Downs at the end to clock up the extra digits, so I can never know exactly what I did. A tiny miscalibration on the Cateye Vectra, and it's 199 miles.I'm only one behind you.......on the Eddington 200 trail

I did a 196. I was guestimating as my Garmin ran out of juice. I miscalculated wrong.
I was gutted.
Currently on 9 x200's.
