    Sometimes parts break. Sometimes you crash. Sometimes it’s your fault.

    TFL Definitely need some bigger targets. I'd vote captain, lord, and admiral awesome.

    9999 points :-) Who's gonna send us past the 10K mark?

    UBS have logged some more miles now and are now 200 miles ahead....

    Looking at the leaderboard in our group it looks like it's gonna be interesting. We are certainly the smallest team in the top 5 by some 20 members but still have a very good lead over 3rd place!!

    Come end of the month I reckon this could be closer then the 1989 TDF :-D

    Maybe some active recruitment might be an idea.. the road/mtb forums?

    What are these other forum you speak of? Besides we still have about 3 weeks worth of commuting mileage to be logged + a few L2P rides and I can finally start logging miles again come Sunday which will just about make up for a normal weeks worth of commute miles. I'll then be hitting The Embankment with a vengence from Tuesday!

    that said another 3 people doing just 20 miles each notches us 210 points...

    I feel a few more and we could compete at a higher level... There's now point tapping the glass ceiling you need to smash through it.

    there are you happy now? I feel a little sick

    Ai Ai - I shall head over to Cake Stop and Road Beginners and see if we get any bites :-) I guess it will be more fun to crush them then to keep it a close fought battle :twisted:

    Some people are being a bit slack on logging the miles. The figures in the MTD column of SCS don't tally with the badges of some... *cough*Will3*cough*

    I'd noticed that, but I figured at some point he was just going to drop 500 miles (for some reason typing that makes me want to break into song) some time next week to really break UBS spirit....

    The thing is that of the few sites I log miles on the TFL one is the easiest as I just enter the mileage! Dailymile takes marginally longer but that's coz I enter times, keywords etc!

    EDIT TO ADD: Recruitment threads started on Cake Stop and Road Beginners :-)

    Don't worry. It's a breakaway that won't stay away. They'll be reeled in.

    An idea, not sure whether it has been suggested.
    Everyone take a detour to ride past their local UBS office; London locations are on this web page.

    http://apps2.ubs.com/locationfinder/searchForm.do?GeoEntityId=2&GeoEntityType=2&EntityTypeId=0&L=en&NavLB_Apps=1276163646

    While you’re at it, leave a post-it on the front door saying “Team SCR – you’re scalped”.

    Puerile idea but I’m off to Curzon St this avo all the same…

    Miles logged.

    Have to admit that this week has been shameful. I haven't ridden due to a lack of rear tyre. Will make up for it on Sat/Sun with some hard miles.
    Food Chain number = 4

    A true scalp is not only overtaking someone but leaving them stopped at a set of lights. As you, who have clearly beaten the lights, pummels nothing but the open air ahead. ~ 'DondaddyD'. Player of the Unspoken Game

    +1 I love it! Unfortunately, I reckon the %age of UBS employees who would understand it is too low... perhaps put a note in an envelope addressed to 'UBS Cycling Club'.

    As of 13:47 today

    UBS has 90 members and 8114.05 miles logged = avg 90 miles per person
    SCR has 56 members and 7792.76 miles logged = avg 139 miles per person

    UBS just need another 10 people and they will be a victim of there own success. SCR per person are logging more miles so awesome job well done all.
