"Eddington Number"

[ianrauk]

I've been slacking on the Eddington numbers since the pandemic. For obvious reasons.
I did a nice 120 miles on Wednesday with Eddington's in mind.
Looking at my spread sheet, I'm still at 113.
Needing 4 more 114's to get to that figure
11 115's to get to that number
14 116's
20 117's
28 118's
34 119's
43 120's

Not looking at getting anything over 120 in my lifetime as that is about the normal 200km Audax distance.
So 120 is the figure I'm heading for.

119 miles today. 3 more similar for a jump to 114

Should've topped that up to 120 for your final aim

I did actually think that.

At last. A new Eddington number after todays ride. Now up to 114.
Now need 7 more 115 or above to get that. Hopefully achievable this year.

I feel embarrassed to report that after last weekend's imperial half my Eddington number has reached the heady height of 40. Only 48 more imperial halves to get to 50.

Keep riding. It all accumulates to a serious achievement eventually

Up to 82 after today's ride . I think I'm now at the stage if I complete the imperial challenge this year it should jump up to 87 by the end of the year

Wasted opportunity to bank a 120

Having finished a day on 104 miles last Friday I then noticed on the Saturday I only needed one more 108 mile ride to move up a level. So out the door first thing and 111 miles later my Eddington is now 108. It had been stuck on 107 for absolutely ages.
