Now about 100 ahead :-(
I've just updated the team stats spreadsheet and had a look at UBS - they have over 20 extra members over us which means we need EVERYONE logging miles :-)
I appreciate we had half term last week so those members with kiddies may have been off commuting and some are tapering for various big rides but there are a few riders that I'm fairly certain are still cycle-commuting but not logging miles.
At present we have yet to see any mileage from the following:

Wrath Rob
themoodster
gaz545
DonDaddyd
CJ
Attica
Goldcrank
josh
Toby
AndyB78
Comfy
Greasygrinder
dav3m

If we are going to have a chance at winning this larger category we need all the mileage we can get! I'll give it a day or so before I start sending out PMs. After that I may have to start culling, something I don't really want to do as I'd have thought if you signed up for this you'd log your miles.

OT: SP, how did the tri go? Times, splits, etc?

Over what distances?

I am only doing 100/week so am happy to be culled if there are people doing more. Just drop me a note if it gets to that.

spasypaddy

450m
21km
5km

i barely trained which explains the run and swim times

As long as you are logging miles, however little as it all helps, you won't get culled :-)

Apologies; I signed up when there wasn't any mention of it having to be London based :oops: ... I do work in London periodically, but don't cycle there - can I still log my miles?

As we've discussed- sign up anyway. I have

Yes, the tentative London link is enough :-)

Something has gone very wrong with the miles logged, we're 500 BEHIND UBS Cycling Club :shock:

They have 80 members vs. our 52, asides from that I can only assume as it's a club they might have also have some riders completing the Dragon, another sportive or a club-ride yesterday hence the huge mileage for last week!

Started logging

Does this mean my pathetic 105 miles a week IS needed now?

asprilla

Am I the only one looking at the CO2 figures and thinking that it just reiterates how little impact an individual, or reasonably large group of individuals can make to climate change when compared to industry?

By the end of this we, as a group, will have saved about 6 tons of CO2. That's nothing.

I don't recall turning down mileage :-) 105 miles a week = 420 over the month!!

PeteinSQ

I've just registered and I've got 100 miles from last week to register.

Saw rain forecast for this evening, so squeezed in a quick lunchtime 25 miles. Which included an extra lap of the block to make up the 25 :roll:

Clever Pun

keep logging people we're quite a few miles behind ubs

Remember why take the direct route when a loop presents itself

Bassjunkieuk

Cheers CP - Good advice there :-)

We're currently sitting on 5915.55 and UBS have 6548.97

I've done a quick update on the Team Stats, we are still missing mileage from 8 people who I'm sure could bridge that gap.....PM's are being sent :-)

spasypaddy

im having to take a few days rest so i shall only be uploading a measley 10 for yesterday and today. will attempt to do 30 on thursday though and will do a similar amount on sunday.

sorry

NP!

Think I may have caused a few "issues" when sending the PM's......was getting a bad gateway error at one point :-) Sorry mods!!!

UBS are getting more points per mile than Team SCR. That means they have a higher percentage of people logging lower mileage than we have seeing as the first 20 miles attracts the most points per mile (70 to be exact). If the people who are currently MIA were to log just 20 miles each (a feat well within their grasp I should think), that would go a long way towards bridging the points gap.

Another way of looking at it - UBS' average miles per member is currently 80. Team SCR is 110 (or 129 if you exclude the people who haven't logged). They are more than likely leading through volume rather than individual effort.

I also looked at ubs it seems the top 2 posted pretty much all their miles in one bounce...

I maybe wrong though

RJLJ

I take it that the loggin of miles is purley on a trust basis? Wonder how many people are actually logging the miles they actually do or are they logging that extra mile or 10?

redvee

I'm so tempted to add the 49 I did right at the very, very begining of June. So close to the begining of June it was classed as 31st May

Not wrong; they logged those miles on the first day and haven't logged any since.
