    Funnily enough the KW member who gave Chris and me a lift to the Magnificat yesterday is on the UBS team. They have a fair amount of chat as to whether all our team members are eligible...

    136miles logged for yesterday. Today's commute was a bit pootly

    Eligible? Pish. We're more eligible than they are, we're getting the miles in. :D

    And I will be riding in London this week. OK, only between Waterloo & Kings Cross (up to York for the weekend).....but it's still London miles.

    This is cynical I know, but I find it slightly hard to believe that UBS is able to rack up an average of 120 miles per person. A collective of cyclists from a cycling forum, yes. A collective of bankers from one company, hmmm? The other large organisations are nowhere near that average!

    YACF are showing us up BTW. Their average per person is over 20 miles more than us:

    YACF 212.9
    Team SCR 190.4
    LGFSS 144.9
    UBS 120.2
    Citi Cycling 92.7
    Met Police 84

    On the homepage it says the groups with the most miles wins yet were in 2nd at the mo with 700+ more miles but less points. :?
    I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.

    Also if one were to log in, breaks it down even further to reflect social and then workplace. SCR is social but UBS is workplace.

    What's that "CO2 saved" bobbins?

    How is it calculated? "CO2 saved" versus what? Travelling by kitten-fired Hummer?
    Sometimes parts break. Sometimes you crash. Sometimes it’s your fault.

    Then that would take us up to an average of 221.8

    But YACF are now up to 231.4, and that's based on all their members logging miles!

    I think the way my mum and dad guided me through early years had quite a big part to play, but I guess you are right, I have always been ace.

    No advantage to removing them, just encourage them to log their miles - if they only logged 10 miles each we'd more than make up the points deficit.
