EDIT: don't know how you guys in the top 10 continue to churn out that mileage. Great stuff.
Cheers CJ, on the A48 from Tredegar House heading towards Castleton.
Off to the UHW for a review on Wednesday to assess if it will heal itself or if I need an op so unsure how long yet - just hoping it's not too long!
Ye - it's crazy how much mileage people are doing - very impressive. I was happy clawing may way towrads the top 40._________________________________________________

You must have done a million miles this year tho - add them in to give (us) a realistic miles to date figure; if you don't know it you can do an estimate (as long as it's less than my 3048 minus your 163).
Go to the Add New page via your name / link on the front page and look for the bit that reads 'If your total miles are incorrect update them here:'0 -

I've done 163miles so far.
you must of done a lot more miles than that. over this year?0 -
First decent ride in over 3 weeks today and boy did I notice the extra weight and lack of riding!! However I was very pleased with the Cosmic Carbone wheels I am trialling with a view to buying. (Guy wants £350 for the the pair - they've done around 500 miles - is that good price?).Still breathing.....0

I've split my commute between two bikes and only one of them has a cycle computer, which is reading 494miles. So I'll add that, even though I know I've done more
494 includes last weeks 188 (which is the 163miles last week plus a 25mile return journey home).
I'll have to accept that this year I'm not going to be overly competitive - my goal is to get into the top 100. then it's all about next year!Food Chain number = 4

Think very carefully about commiting yourself next year, its an addiction and the SCS table can take over your life lol0 -
Yaya, finally managed my standard commute in sub 1 hour.

top 100 would be fair going as at mo i'm around the 100 mark with 1361 miles, and folks will keep going, though i'd expect a few to start to tail off as the weather gets colder and wetter.
by even so getting to a 100 will be a fair task.0 -
I didn't realise for the first couple of hundred yards that a quick one was on the cards last night so didn't give it the beans straight away. Wish I had - after a superb ride, including touching 40 out of Buckingham and keeping it in the high 20s in places where normally I'm seeing 20-21 mph, I screeched to a halt outside the front door stopping the clock on 1h 00m 02s for the 20.68 miles.

Kudos to the bloke from round the corner who I blocked on the roundabout nearby, but who fully grasped the necessity when I rolled over to apologise & explain the reasoning to him. He was more concerned that he might have cost me the 3 seconds that I was looking for.

It might be a bit easier soon - I'm lining up another purge to trim out those who signed up since [probably] March, but who haven't added any miles since [probably] June. They're just noise and don't add anything to the Stats board other than making the headline total miles figure slightly higher.
Anyone who reckons they might be caught in this purge and doesn't fancy being terminated, add a token half mile asap or you'll be out.0 -

Yes, have always thought that for a recoed attempt you must go from the off. It it is not working by half way then chuck it. But it rarely works "going for it" after a slow start. Fantastic attempt though. It must surely be in your grasp!! However, the comedown will be when, feeling like a Roger Bannister, you tell your non cycling friends about "Beating the Hour" they shake their heads and start talking about Big Brother...."Encyclopaedia is a fetish for very small bicycles"0 -
You're right Wallace, but I didn't think I was that close, having had a few attempts at it when I've stumbled into the kitchen on the verge of unexpected death and checked the computer only to see 1h 3m or thereabouts.
I do keep thinking that a bit more effort up the long climb past the pub with the missing roof, or on the dull section with the poor surface, or the descent heading towards the last village, any of those might have given me the necessary seconds. Too late now.0 -

Do I have to add my miles daily or can I add them as a whole at the end of the week?
This week will be 120miles or 30 miles a day (give or take a 0.something)Food Chain number = 4

doesn't matter end of the week or keep people in suspense and add a months worth at the end of the month.0

You should add them a regulary as convenient
You should however add them properly, by using the input screen CIB has set up instead of just changing your overall total.
Why not stick in a rough estimate of your YTD total?“New York has the haircuts, London has the trousers, but Belfast has the reason!0 -
Wasn't sure if I could write this : oh well : this has been a completely crap week :
My Mum died last Tuesday after a long battle with Alzheimers, followed on Weds by a very close friend in the music industry. Shattering.
I've been riding to try and work it all through in my head but it's crap and that's all there is to it really. It is what it is.
To put the tin hat on it I had a pretty spectacular "off" on Sunday after about 50 miles, when I hit a patch of wet gravel on a fast corner and snapped my bars in the process. Bruised and battered physically and emotionally : oh and I've got a f*cking cold.
The brightest spot has been that I picked up my brother at Heathrow yesterday who flew back from his home in Australia : hadn't seen him for nearly 10 years .... that was nice for all the wrong reasons.

You can add them part way through the journey of you have the right gear. It's up to you, but you'll note that a lot of us add them after each commute, start & end of the day. The blue highlight boxes indicate 'updated today'.0

I can see the addicition beginning, at the back of my mind I'm already toying with the idea of doing the full 44mile route to and from work just to up the stats...Food Chain number = 4

DDD. Click your name to link through to the update page. At the bottom of that page out of the way (by design) is a drop down that shows the total mileage for each year you've been on the Stats board - yours will just show 2010. In the input box next to this enter what you think is your total for the year and hit the adjacent update button. All susbequent miles will incrementally add to this figure; it doesn't need to be updated when you add a ride.0

It's generally better to add more regularly as it makes the week to date column work properly.
Also to within the nearest 0.1 mile is best.
do you only work 4 days a week?0
