    200 miles in a day... that would be bloody amazing work

    Yea, no other way but down!!

    We've both done 120 in a day at a very sedate pace and to be honest, if we're kept fed we both think we can keep going on a lot longer.

    We'll be doing it in loops out from home bases so there are bailing out options and we will be starting at about 4am as well :)

    A strategy may be to determine the direction of the prevailing wind and transfer to your starting point by car to pick up the tailwind all the way home.

    The Stats table and training for the Marmotte (in that order) immediately popped into my head and all I just said "Errr...".

    I've found myself trying to figure if I can do what Christophe did last year and ride to or from any holiday destination in the UK. When Cornwall was mentioned, I thought, "Hmm, could I do 230 miles in a day?". :roll:

    230 miles in a day? Of course you could.

    Yep moved house, 95 miles from the big smoke now and loving every minute including the hours of commuting, there might be something wrong with me :lol:

    Last year me and 2 mates did 217 miles in one day from Kent to Dorset along the coast we left kent at 4am and got to Dorset at 5.30pm..... which was 200 miles on the dot, so did another 17 to get to a nice pub for a pint, at about 6.30pm. so its possible with favourable wind and roads.
    Think we all did a 100 miler the weekend before to get the fitness (on top of normal riding) up and then pasta pasta pasta... yummmmy :D

    There's something a little depressing about clocking your mileage into four figures for the year over the weekend and discovering that despite that you're still not in the top thirty five!

    Not an option, I'm afraid. There are very few other places I could do my job.

    you only have one chance at this...........

    15-17 hours in the saddle? I'd be bathing in Sudocrem for the rest of the year. :o

    OK then, how about setting out on the night before, get 70-80 miles under your belt and do the rest the next day.

    My goal is just to get into the top 100 and maintain it.

    Just found a nice 'feature' on the on the Stats page.

    The cumulative gap creates an inaccurate figure if 2 people are on the same mileage as it adds boths distances to your cumulative gap rather than just one.

    Definitely a useful column on the page though :)

    Yeah that's a feature. Might change it. :)

    It would also be a nice feature if you could enter a position and it worked out how many miles you need to do to get to that position :wink:

    Well, I admire your ambition but I have to say that with 150 miles separating half-a-dozen riders at the bottom of the 40s, I think quibbling about me nicking your spot by 1 mile is a bit petty! :-)

    Cheers,

    the whole table can be petty! I meant 40s as in 40-49 (which is much closer both to me and to each other) rather than top 40, the latter is out of my reach.

    Why not just look at the cuml gap col, which shows how many miles ahead of you each position is. Isn't that what you were asking? I assumed the wink was irony. :)

    Isn't the cumulative total column one row out? I.e. the cum total shows you how far ahead the person above the entry is, not the one on the same line? Could it be rejigged up one to make it easier to read? Eg if I try to see how far ahead 40th is, I have to read cum total for 41st at the moment (I think)

    Yeah, true enough :-).... but... so did I!! At the point I posted that, someone (BD? mudcovered?) was at about 43 or so and whoever was at 49 was 150 miles behind. We still have a pretty big gap (~130miles) between Attica (40) and Cambs (45). I can't see myself finding the time to close up that gap, though I would prefer not to drop out of the top 50.
    Cambs 400m/m mini-league is aspirational for me- I don't have a target, really, beyond not embarrassing myself, and I'm not sure that I havn't already failed there!!
    I'm amazed at the number of people clocking what I see as pretty big mileages. I never expected to be in the top-10 but I did think that logging a modest mileage every single day would pay dividends. Naive.... :-(

    When you wrote "through the 40s and into the 30s.." you exceeded my ambitions dramatically!!!

    Cheers,

    I wrote that bit with the intention of showing how many miles you need to do to get ahead of the person in nth position. I can change it if you like, when I tweak the [2 riders on the same miles] / cuml gap feature.

    I thought that was how many miles between the you and the person directly above.

    So for me I'm 1.3 miles behind John Cleland who is 6.2 miles behind T00THBRU5H therefore I am 7.5 miles behind T00THBRU5H.

    There are two columns that matter - Gap is the distance between each position, and cuml gap shows the gap starting from the commuter above you all the way to the top. It's triggered by you going to the add stats page, and relies on you having cookies enabled on your browser, otherwise you get a blank column.

    The gap col shows a sequence of unrelated numbers, the cuml gap col shows an incrementing total from you to the top. It currently shows how many miles you need to do to get ahead of each commuter above you, but that might change.

    Not THE John Cleland presumably? He's no concept of any distance greater than 2", never mind 6.2 miles!

    Glad to have helped. Feel free to add requests for further enhancements, that I'll probably fail to get round to doing.

    ANNOUNCEMENT
    One thing deffo on the cards is a log-in to SC Stats. I've held off implementing it since this all kicked off, but I've never been comfortable with the idea that any old muppet can wipe out anybody and everybody's stats at will, and there have been a few occasions where users' stats have been 'modified'. It does happen, more than we might like to think.

    In the next few days it'll go in; when it does you'll need a log-in to apply updates to your own stats. When that does happen, you'll know how to log-in. Keep an eye open here and on the Stats pages for further info.

    Nice little pootle in the Northumberland National Park today. Past dead sheep and the hangman's Gibbet. All in all a nice 58 miler, now lets see how long it takes me to drop back down to 65th :roll:

    Mmm, something I can't understand:
    How can I drop in the table, when nobody in front of me has added any miles for a while?

    IE: this morning I was 93rd. I'm now 95th. But the 10 peeps in front of me haven't added anything and all have gone backwards as well.
    (and it happened to quite a few people behind me as well... weird)

    New people have signed up ahead of you with a higher starting mileage.

    SuzyB - thanks for the offer. I'll bear it in mind, along with one or two others.
