Cambs is the flattest? Rubbish! I could show you gentle slopes round here that would make your knees bleed.

I've got all of those except ditchling beacon, on at least one of my rides. Good to see that a cheating little scrote gets a KOM, yet again
. I imagine that would grate a bit, with hardcore Stravanauts.

What I find most interesting is the claim that there are 23,126,613 in the UK.
I suspect that that figure may not be quite correct.

It could be true. I uploaded 175 rides so that means that is that only 132,152 people would have to do similar.

I must admit I find it difficult to believe that "UK cyclists [did] 131,130 century (100 mile) rides in among the 684,891,474 km logged on June 30" - a Tuesday, presumably very few of those commuting. And these century riders are all using Strava. So can one then multiply this figure to account for those not using Strava, but doing a century that day (also) for fun?
Clearly not many of the locals choosing to ride them then, if the average of all rides is 119m? Unless nobody likes Strava there?
If I ride the flattest 20 mile route I can from my house, in South Wales, I take in 350m of climbing and that's a coast road.

When I take my bike to Devon when we stay with the in laws I can do more up in 4 miles than I can in a 40 mile ride here!
It really is bonkers how this country differs in terrain.
Some of those popular Richmond Park "hills" barely fit the definition. Can understand why people go there though. Looks like great countryside compared to the usual concrete in London.
