Has anyone else spotted that UBS have (as I believe I predicted) ducked it up and gone up a league? Thereby leaving us to sail home in the 51-100 category?

Just call me Nostradamus....

Ha! Their at 101 members and 8th (I believe) in the 100+ league, what a monumental c0ck-up :-) I wonder if they operate on the approval system like we do or it they just let people sign up - I'd assume the later as they really can't contest in the 100+ group with the top guys in there having over 300 members!!!!

Anyhow BACK ON TOP :-D

I don't know why I think this, but I think they are hiding away in the 100+ group and towards the end will see they have a chance at the 50-100 group and remove the lowest mileage members.

They are a cycling club, they will want to win... :?

I'm inclined to agree with Coopster....no slacking everyone, and LFGSS could still get stronger even if UBS don't cull their dead wood. And we want a crushing victory, not a narrow one, right?

mkirby

added my club 10 miles. If winds are light on sat im aiming for a century, and a half century on sunday if i still have legs.

Wrath Rob

Looks like I'm having to work on Saturday. Boo. However, I'll ride in so chalk up another 18 miles. Yay!

Also, the Titanic that sank wasn't the real Titanic, it was its sister ship the Olympic in a massive insurance scam by White Star, who, by the way, were owned by JP Morgan. Yes, that JP Morgan.

:P

There are some seriously laid-back participants in here

I've got 315 miles logged on SC Stats for June would that be of any use in the SCR quest for TfL Challenge glory or is it too late to sign up?

Bassjunkieuk will approve your team membership and then you can start logging.

Room for another? I'm now doing 22.5m a day M-F (6.5m in with the train taking 10m of strain in the AM, but doing the full 16.5 back).

Yep! Still have plenty of spaces

richred_uk

done - 220 miles logged

958.01 logged, big ride this weekend to reach 1k or rest, hmmm :twisted:

mkirby

too windy to go out today so no century will try again tomorow

Bassjunkieuk

Due to a electrical (we suspect) problem with the family bus and so not having the use of the 8 seater we had to call on my parents to ferry one of the mini-BJUK's to Dulwich Park yesterday whilst Mrs BJUK took 4 and I "volunteered" to use my bike :-)

The ride to the park, 2 laps whilst I waited for those in cars to arrive, a few laps with the kids and my brother + his GF (them on the hired side-by-side tandem!) and the subsequent ride back to my parents house in Croydon meant I sneaked in an un-expected 17 miles yesterday :-D

I also have to ride the bike back today so have the chance to add another few miles to the pot :-)

I've also been having a look at the leaderboards:

In our group we are still pi$$ing over all and sundry with:

20309.05 17333.05 Team SCR

However our former nemesis who "accidently" went off the radar and got promoted are on:

20351.85 15962.55 UBS Cycling Club

Their 6th with 103 members and just shy of 50 points ahead of us, despite us logging about 1,500 more miles!!!

Good luck to our team members to the L2B today :-) A few century rides would be useful to give UBS a wake-up call (although having said that they might have some member partaking......)

kelsen

104 miles logged for yesterday's L2B

We really need to get on it with our members - we could have almost double the membership we've got at the moment.

But we still appear to be winning...

spasypaddy

ive got 3 days off work this week, i may try to do 300km... It will be a minimum of 200k

Kieran_Burns

June is proving to be a bad month for me cycling wise Still I'm out today but won't be again 'til Friday (off to Newcastle for 3 days). I'll extend the run home tonight again so I can add 25 miles this evening but I'm missing the bike.

asprilla

I've got a long weekend, but on Wednesday lunch time I'm planning on going out for a couple of hours to make up for it.

points up

iPete

woop woop, a non-cyclist dropped out and my workplace are we now second in the 10 man category, could be my 1000 points helping

coopster_the_1st

As predicted earlier in this thread, UBS are back and with a lead...

richred_uk

First Capital Connect are helping - I left my wallet in the office and they wouldn't let me on the train this morning so had to ride all the way in which adds a few extra miles to today's total.

OK, this means war now - The cheeky sods!!! TBH I'm not sure if that lead is surmountable at the moment. We have 8 days left in the month and they have exactly 100 members on their team (all of who are logging miles I suspect..........) and we're on 64 with 5 members who seemingly haven't cycled AT ALL this month.

cheeky feckers i bet still retain the extra join points - even if they are then booted...

I'd hope not, but then going by some of the dodgy admin work we've spotted on that site I wouldn't put it past the DBA's to *miss* taking the points off a team who eject members......

well they haven't got the miles to warrant 2000 more points

But they do have presumably 41 more members logging miles, this would break down in new user miles alone as:

41 members * first 10 miles * 5 points per mile = 2050 point alone for *just* 410 miles towards the teams total mileage!!

Then if those members ride anymore to bring them up to the 20 mile, 1 point per mile cut off they get:

41 member * next 10 miles * 2 points per mile = 820 points :-(

Likewise if our 5 non-riders could post just 20 miles each we'd bag an extra 350 points and make a dent in their lead.

This is assuming I'm reading the "How it works" section correctly.......
