"Eddington Number"

[ianrauk]

Yep got to 49 - now need to ride 50 miles 2 times to get to 50. To get to 51 need to ride another 7 times!!!

I think it will start to get harded to increase from now on, might try and get my commute to over 50 miles round trip.

God knows how you are upto 105!!!!
Good work!!!

Yeah, the higher the number, the harder it gets to progress.
How I'm up to 105? Long weekend rides every weekend....that's the answer

Saw this a while ago, but only just worked my number out.

I did it at first by putting all my rides (since 2010) in descending order and made it 57. Then I read this thread and saw the link http://canini.me/eddington/index.php which has helpfully added all my within-day rides together. My E number is now 60. I make this year's number 34 but I haven't added within-day rides together.

Its kind of interesting and may motivate me occasionally to bung a few more miles in than I otherwise would.

My goal is to get to 60 by the end of the year now, need to ride 60miles over 20 more rides!

 

[Norry1]

Got to 61 today

Got to 61 today

Nice one... it's getting much harder now for me..
I need 3 more rides of 106 to reach that number, or 11 107's to reach that number. or 15 x108's.
Tough, tough, tough...

My Eddington number is now 3.5 (one more than @potsy's)

Only 1, i'd recalculate.

Has he ridden at all this year ?

I'm now up to 88, 3 more for 89, 5 for 90 , I ain't even looking at 91 yet.

My trip down to Gibraltar helped bump my Eddington up quite a bit; I'm now on 46 & 2 away from 47 Small compared to some peoples but quite good considering it was only in the mid 20's a few months back.

Thanks @Norry1 for reviving this thread.

Just got home from a long day of cycling - but not that far, due to equipment problems - rear gear cable needs replacing. But I've worked out if I cycling another 3 miles, I will increase my number to 52. So I am about to find out how lazy I am.

How lazy am I? Very. 3 months later, and I've only got to 54.

I'd be happy just to get back on the bike again this year now! No chance if getting close to 60

 

[Norry1]

OK - so what is your Eddington Number for 2015? Mine is now 37

 

[Supersuperleeds]

2015 = 83

My overall Eddington is now up to 90.

 

[StuAff]

This year, 28. Overall, 95.

 

[ianrauk]

This year, 41. Overall, still 105 (1 x106 needed)

Just six years ago I could not imagine ever riding over 40 miles. Then I started doing audaxes, joined a club and entered the Metric Century a Month Challenge. Now up to a lifetime Eddington number of 41, but have quickly lost the will to keep calculating it! Mrs Donger will be pleased, as I was always leaving bits of paper covered in numbers lying around the house. Besides, I don't reckon I'll ever get it up beyond the low 60s, even if I do the challenge again for the next 3 years. 105 is mindblowing, @ianrauk.
