Aren't we already doing our own mini version of this on the SC Stats, which includes us country bumpkins?

I would be I think I would be minced even if I did MTFU.
What about adding an additional field Meters Climbed? Then I may join you but would still low down in the chartsThe doctor said I needed to start drinking more whiskey. Also, I’m calling myself ‘the doctor’ now0 -
The MOST I could do in a single week would be 145 miles, so where the heck do you get ONLY 169 miles????

Even if I commuted in from my GF's every day I could only manage 80 commuting miles a week. I don't stand a chance!

I have been known to do 4 commutes at 42ish miles plus a 100 mile sportive at the weekend :shock:
However I think those weeks are beyond me at the moment, my bodies begining to rebel, what with running and swimming twice a week as well :roll:pain is temporary, the glory of beating your mates to the top of the hill lasts forever.....................

Hey, I can't make a decent messenger bag out of bits 'n pieces .
I do a 20 mile round trip every day, so mine is commuting.
However, now the weather is better I've started doing a few "I wonder where that road goes" on the way home...
I'm not bothered about being top of the stats. It's not the distance, it's turning the humdrum commute into something that we all enjoy.
