    There is a scoring system in place for the miles:
    * 0 – 10 miles = 5 points
    * 11 -20 miles = 2 points
    * 20 + miles = 1 point

    I'm guessing that is points per mile so a 10 mile commute will score 50 points (10 miles @ 5 points per mile)

    As June is a big month for Sportives and I think I've collared most of the SCRer's who are taking part in the Dragon/Magnificat and the various L2P rides I think we should do fairly well.

    I'm in.

    Here's my log for the past couple of months. Ignore the overall total, my satnav went skewif at a while back and was logging speeds in excess of 1,000mph

    It'd be a shame for my miles to go to waste. Joined.

    Officially my miles won't count unless you can somehow class Bristol as very Outer London :lol: Anybody want to bag my miles for this or is that cheating?
    I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.

    The rules state "Cycle Challenge is open to people aged over 18 who live, work or study in Greater London". Pretty sure they didn't when I signed up, but I might have missed it....

    Bother. Pretty sure that wasn't there when I signed up too... That makes my miles invalid I guess, unless you really want to stretch the interpretation of the rules: I do occasionally work (once a month I'd estimate) in Greater London, so on that basis alone, I could be in.
    Sometimes parts break. Sometimes you crash. Sometimes it’s your fault.

    Is it just me or does this seem very open to abuse? I mean who verifies mileage? Any old fat slob could claim to have done 500 miles last week and claim the prize and who could prove otherwise? Am I just being cynical of human nature?

    So, are us non-Londonites clocking up the miles too? I will work in London at least once this month...

    Just noticed that too. I also had to reset my password this morning because it wasn't being recognised.

    Poor, poor DBA methinks.

    Could be cuts in the IT budget. ;)
    In which case, it would be poor, redundant DBA...

    Don't know how long it will last but Team SCR are currently top of the Social Groups/11-50 Members leaderboard :-)

    Of course this could just mean we are the only social group that is posting on works time.......;-)

    Requires additional logging or a memory. This is now the fourth daily mile log I use...

    No, I've put the round trip in.

    Cheeky, I know but if I don't cycle home tonight then it means I've got much, much bigger things to be concerned with than my stats.

    I can't make the trip any shorter, so if I go further, which is very rare, I'll top it up tomorrow.

    I'm in.
    The above is a post in a forum on the Intertubes, and should be taken with the appropriate amount of seriousness.
