Thanks
It's been bleedin' hard work.

It's quite demoralising... every time you do a long ride and think 'that'll push my number up' you find one of your shorter rides dropped off the bottom.
I don't seem to have a lot of 70-120 mile rides in my list and so no matter how many 100+mile rides I do my E number only increases very slowly.
Even PBP (and all it's qualifiers (assuming I make it) will only get me to 80.

"...will only get me to 80"

*notices he's replying to PpPete*

Indeed, the higher you get the harder it is to raise the number
I need 1 more 105+ ride to get to that number, but to get to 106 I need another 6 of those. 23 110+ to get to that number. It's not something that quick or easy to do.

@Supersuperleeds must have quite a good number by now with his long commuter rides

I'm on 81, only need another 69 hundreds to get to 100

 

[Supersuperleeds]

http://canini.me/eddington/index.php will also calculate it from your strava.

51 for me.

I like that, took me a while and a lot of help from @SatNavSaysStraightOn to get excel to calculate it automatically

In the spreadsheet I use, if you order your mileage column in descending order, when the mileage number last exceeds the column number, there's your E number.

My own number has been static for some time while I experiment with prostate problems. Ah, the joys of ageing!

Which is what I do and My Cycling Logs makes it easy to do by allowing you to download a CSV file to excel.

Which is awesome considering the short amount of time you have been cycling and logging your miles.

I just enter my ride data and my Eddington number just drops out, no need to sort anything, use COUNTIF function

Had planned to do just that in the morning... i have a ss log of every ride since 2006.

Cheers, the commuting really helps.

Sadly that only works if all your riding history is in strava. Mine isn't for obvious reasons when cycling around...

With yesterdays Oasts & Coasts Audax I have now reached 105.
Need x6 106+ to reach that number.

 

[Supersuperleeds]

I'm still on 81 need another three 82+ to get to 82, if it was in kilometres I would be on 123.
