    OK, if you're still looking to up the membership numbers, I can offer you 106 miles for the first week in June, probs about the same most weeks

    All helps! We're still well clear of being bumped upto the next group and as was pointed out earlier UBS are edging closer to a promotion (unless they stop at 99!)
    That said we are logging more miles per head which at the end of the comp should hopefully get us a win!

    Just logged my 120 miles for June so far. Commuting miles only at the moment, but getting my road bike back at the weekend and will rack up a couple of longer rides next week, should hopefully manage around 500 miles for June. July will be big - trip to Alps and Big G sportive, plus daily commute.

    Only June miles count, so better bring those trips forward by a month :)

    You get more points for your first set of miles, presumably up to a limit of, say, 50, then they drop to 1 point per mile. Is that right?

    Guess it just brings home the point we have fewer riders with more miles!

    Looking forward to giving those bankers some pain this weekend and next week. Two days off the bike (rocking out in Warsaw), but my lovely new/old toy will be getting intensive testing.
    Another 250 miles or so, say..... :lol:

    Yeah - straight in at Cycle Champion and 17th place! And only commuted 3 days each week so far!

    I fear there could be some tricky questions if this comes to the attention of certain parties. I hope there's not an ignominious disqualification in the offing.... :(

    We're all looking forward to the miles team members can add from various Sportives coming this month. What about the miles that our compeitiors will be doing on the same sportives/rides etc? We should have a higher particicpation percentage though.
    I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.

    As I've stated before, I think the whole London thing is highly dubious..People can live and work in London, not actually ride anywhere in the smoke, but then go and do a sportive- even abroad- and it counts. Whereas the likes of me can go up, actually ride in London (as I have done multiple times this year and last on FNRttCs, when I picked up the Viner, Cycle Show, etc) and it doesn't count. And London is supposed to be the capital of the whole country, it's not closed off & there aren't internal passports! That, IMHO, is one great big steaming pile of manure.
    At least if we get disqualified, we'll have a moral victory. 'cause we rode more!!

    It'll give me a kick to figure out how much cycling I'm actually doing at the mo.

    At the moment- I've just been out for my morning ride to the front and back & have logged it- we're on 8732.69, the (w?) bankers are on 8563.06- and that's with 59 bods to their 90. Per person, we've done two and a half times the Beeb team's mileage. Another hundred recruits and we could take the overall title :D

    While your at it I wouldn't even consider googling Daily Mile ;-) The TFL challenge page is nice for this month but DM provides a more long term solution with many more features :-D
