    Oh, wait a minute......ah, yes..... 8)

    "maiden"? I can think of a better word. Though I'm not sure I can think of a word to describe third from left. Perhaps "man".

    I am intrigued.

    I may have pushed the boundaries of artistic licence on that one. How about "harlot"?

    And the third one in is rather mannish. Good operation though - you can hardly see the scars.

    OK. I'm taking the extra long route home tonight.

    Maybe we can work together to catch ITB?

    Cin B, todays miles appear to be adding to July and not updating the WTD...
    As ever, it is possibly something I did :oops:

    No - it's me. I could waste a bit of this evening and tomorrow night rearranging a few things to make it work, or wait until Wednesday when magically it will show what we expect it to show in the WTD col. I vote for the latter.

    I reckon it's time to flag up the achievements on here. Get your numbers in by the end of today and later on tonight I'll stick up some winners - fastest, furthest, highest, or whatever. :)

    Ok. I was gonna run some queries and pull some figures out, but tbh reading the Why Girls Have Different Frames thread is much more fun, so I didn't really bother, what with the wine, birthday etc. Anyway:

    Top prize for most miles in June goes to

    ITB with 782 miles.
    Followed by Rich 158 on 759 & Christophe3967 on 710 miles. Good effort.

    Most miles this year... errr oh it's on the page anyway. It's the same 3. Fancy that. :)
    1 Rich 158 - 4373 mls.
    2 Christophe3967 - 4044 mls.
    3 itboffin - 4039 mls.

    Most enthusiastic users - who's added miles the most times?
    LiT - brill. 52 times popping on to stick some miles up.
    Me 47, but to be expected really as I wrote the thing anyway
    Bracketed - 45 lots of miles added. Good effort.

    Special award to ITB for thinking up this whole SC Stats thing a couple of months ago, the initial gestation of a comma separated list, followed by some wild Unix commands to make it legible to normal eyes and then the triumphant but short lived Google spreadsheet that led to the web page. A bonzo idea.

    And well done to all 51 of us who've added ourselves to it and kept sticking numbers up for no reason whatsoever except to beat the bloke* just above / behind us. It's fun. Let's see if it lasts another month.

    Ladies frame sizes then...

    Edit *or burd.

    312miles in July?

    Something's not quite right there.

    Truth is, I need the motivation of a credible threat from behind, now that ITB has gone zooming over the horizon.

    Theres an almighty scrap going on to stay in the top 40, looks like I could be on paternity leave very soon though which will see me going backwards and with it all to do again...

    ITB may well be about to go zooming over the horizon - but sadly not with his bike :)

    Any miles uploaded this week have fallen into July which explains GTV who hadn't updated his stats for a few weeks IIRC.

    We're only at the half way stage and its going to be the cold hard November and December miles that will sort the wheat from the chaff. On that basis, my money's on Rich and ITB - they've been there, done that. :)

    That's what can happen if you go poncing around the Dordogne sans bicycle :)

    I am making arrangements to take my bike on holiday btw 8) And ride it.

    Thank goodness. I was getting really concerned you might drop back in the rankings :roll:

    When is this sportive? I'm away for the first two weeks and haven't entirely given up on making the SCR trip to Wales...

    ITB - I notice that your PF incidents have not grown for some considerable time.

    Have you found a magic cure?

    Owing to me having to pick up my MTB from work (apparently "it's not an extended garage"), I've driven in today. Horrible.

    I've been doing a few extra miles every day so that I can keep my average 100 miles a week. The weather may have something to do with it too.

    Well my PF incidents have just grown by 2. Argh. 2 p*ncs right next to each other on one, and a single on the other. all on the back wheel, all in different places. I could have chucked my bike in the bin after the second one. it was about 200 yards after getting back on the bike from fixing the first. Considering these happened less than a week after my first ever p*nc on my road bike, I wasn't exactly pleased :(

    Anyway, Put in a nice 18 miles today with the commute and a meet up with a friend on the way home. If I keep this up, I'll soon be 3rd from bottom :lol: :oops:

    I'm adding everything on the end of each week as I don't know how it works and dont want to start overwriting things :?

    EDIT: nevermind, it just adds it on, it doesn't overwrite. I've added the miles home on the commute too, as I know how many it is, and I don't really have much choice in the matter, I have to cycle home.

    Eeep! I've done over 100 miles! I never thought I'd do that far in such a short time! I'm well impressed with myself :D

    Aah just stick em in as & when you feel like it. A good time to add stats is during the mid commute shower I find.

    I have an attachment so that I have my macbook open in front of me when I cycle, so that I can post on here while I'm pootling up the hills.

    I've just pre-booked a 18 miler on the way home, as I'm exploring a few new roads. Plus I'll be lowering my weekly average if I don't :oops:

    Blimey. 53 users, 97886 miles. Everyone just needs to stick up another 40 miles* each and we're on 100,000 for the year to date. That's some stat.

    *Or Rich 158, ITB & Christophe2468 go out and knock the required distance out between them over the weekend.

    If ever there was an incentive to get back on the bike it's keeping ITB & Christophe at bay. I feel some mega mileage coming on when I can get back on the bike :lol::lol:
