"Eddington Number"

[lutonloony]

Not sure when the Edgebaston test is.. but Eddington number.. does it matter? does any mileage log matter?

Not to me,but then my eddington is probably something like 40 at a very finger in air guess

And I would hazard a guess that 40 is a lot better then most.

Do you use strava, mycyclinglog, endomondo or ridewithgps? http://mcgalliard.org/eddington/

No nothing like that, just figure over the years I've done about 40x40

And there we go.
With today's cycling shenanigans my Eddington number rises by 1

Damn this is hard work.

Well done!

Do you have a lifetime target, and if you do, would it happen to be 125? (125 double metric centuries (plus a bit)).

I'm fairly sure that I should be able to reach E100 but I can't see me getting much beyond that unless I either get seriously fit and do lots of hilly 200 km audax rides, or make the effort to do lots of long rides in the nearest flatter areas (Vale of York, Cheshire and Fylde/Wyre district of Lancashire). Moving to somewhere flat would help!

No Colin, no target. I'm not actually chasing E number's. If they happen, then they happen. I'm not going out of my way to chase them. Unless of course it's only a mile or so.

Well done mate.

I don't seem to get the bit which says how many more times I have to ride certain distances?

I did an E60 in my 60th year (60 60 miles in the year) and am considering trying to do an E65 in my 65th year in 3 years time. Current lifetime is E67. ( only started cycling at 45)

New Eddington number today. Now on 101.

Need 12 more for 102 and 25 for 103 so looks like I'll be on this number for a fair while yet

Still, spectacular work this year

Slowly getting there. Now up to 98

(I need new feature suggestions so @Supersuperleeds can test them for me)

New one for me today up to 56 slowly going up . The 100 looks a long way away
Your imperial Eddington Number is 56.
You need to do 6 ride(s) of at least 57 to increase it to 57.
You need to do 9 ride(s) of at least 58 to increase it to 58.
You need to do 11 ride(s) of at least 59 to increase it to 59.
You need to do 12 ride(s) of at least 60 to increase it to 60.
You need to do 88 ride(s) of at least 100 to increase it to 100.

You need to do 88 ride(s) of at least 100 to increase it to 100.

That's what is so tough about this measure. Someone who has never got on a bike in her life only needs 12 more rides than you to get E100.

But E56 is pretty spectacular. Don't be sad.

(mine's a little higher but stuck, because I am "sad")

At long last I have progress:

You need to do 9 ride(s) of at least 116 to increase it to 116.
You need to do 19 ride(s) of at least 117 to increase it to 117.
You need to do 31 ride(s) of at least 118 to increase it to 118.
You need to do 42 ride(s) of at least 120 to increase it to 120.
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.

I had expected to be talking enthusiastically about plans for the future, but recent rides seem to have been an ever-increasing struggle, and ramblings about exciting new ideas would seem misplaced just at the moment. Maybe it's my tyres...
