TFL Cycle Challenge - Team SCR??

Bassjunkieuk

***TEAM STATS****

Just popped onto TFL site to check some train times (I plan to race a colleague from Thames Ditton to London Bridge next week, Top Gear stylee!) and found this:

https://cyclechallenge.tfl.gov.uk/index.php

Basically we log our miles on the site and the team with the most wins! I figure as some of us already wrack up some decent mileage (looking at you Rich and CP!) we should destroy the opposition :-)

So any takers?

I'm in providing I can donate miles to both this and SCS at the same time?

Also, we've already doubled the number of miles by last year's winners. Walk in the park.

Edit: Just realised they did 62,000 miles in a month! Perhaps not that easy after all, or I jsut can't read.

Yours is rubbish. Ours is much better:

You London types always have to copy. :roll:

Don't see why not :-) I know there is so much fierce competition amongst the forumers for mileage that we might as well unite and conquer!

I shall setup Team SCR and post back details as I'm fairly sure there will be sufficient interest :-)

Presumably it doesn't have to be in London, so the winner will be more or less any group of any size that cycles the most miles... (yes, I realise there are different categories for different size groups)

spasypaddy

right so my question is if you do 5 miles does that count at 20 points? or does it count as 4?

Bassjunkieuk

Team created :-)
I'd suggest joining up with your forum user name for the ease of identification :-)

Search for "Team SCR" or follow the link below:

I think:

10 miles is 50 points (10*5)
20 miles is 70 points (10*5)+(10*2)
Every mile after that is worth 1 point.

MonkeyMonster

Good find that man!

edit: signed up - let me in the team curse you!

It's also the month of the Magnificat, we're a sure fire win as on that day I reckon if we get the correct team members we could rake up thousands of points alone :-)

My office want to use me, I'm worth 160 miles on an average week, except in June I'm cycling to Rome in just over 2 weeks

Does that count? :twisted:

I can't see anywhere in the rules that says it has to be commute mileage.... :twisted:

I think they counted Team Sky's miles as well.

iPete

**** me, think I'd need to tour twice around the world to help my office touch that!

The sportive formerly known as Highclere :-) 126 miles in a day

Wrath Rob

Signed up too. I'm glad its from 1st June as I won't be on the bike for a couple of weeks in May

the_moodster

hope you don't mind, i've been lurking hereabouts with the intention of joining the fun once i actually start commuting, i've sorted the bike and worked out my FCN (i think), i've got my route sorted (ish) and i'm just waiting for the facilities at work to be finished off. should be up and running (well cycling) mid may, so this seems like the ideal challenge to take part in.

oh and i'm doing the BHF london - brighton in june, do you think that will count?

There are 10 of them in the photo, over a month that would be 208 miles per day per person!

I do wish they ran this in a month that wasn't June, given as that's the end of our holiday year - and I always have stacks to burn.

This year, I'm likely to just be taking the entire month off. ho hum.

asprilla

Go on a cycling tour.

Corporate Ascents

Sounds great we do something similar - including head to head races and virtual races for companies!

stuaff

I've just signed up, so that's a probable 500+ miles to add in....

Clever Pun

I'm out for about a week in June but I'm happy to sign up still should notch over 500+

Actually, that's one of the things I'm considering.

Get yourselves on this team oh and do the 1500 challenge again

CJCP, JonGinge?? your mountain miles could prove useful


Tactics: do we have a team of 10 or do we go balls out for 50?


Edit: how do the points work? are those scores per day/per ride or overall??

Bassjunkieuk

I reckon more the merrier as far as team size goes, we're already passed the 10 man mark :-)

I'm thinking of PM'ing those monster mileage guys as I was really hoping they'd sign up :-)

pangolin

I'm in! Update SC stats regularly and should easily get 500+ in June.
