    I certainly hope Team Sky aren't signed up as members of Sky's challenge team, or else we're going to have a hell of a job holding on to them from tomorrow until the end of the challenge.

    Northstar is not letting GBSahne have it all his own way. And a special mention for Geo101's impressive debut - he appeared from nowhere and shot straight up to 6th place.

    Yet more newcomers to élite status!

    Obviously, horizontal lines indicate successive days of either not riding or not logging your miles. (Or updated since I looked). Let's hope it's just a delay uploading the mileage.

    I just checked against the team list here - https://cyclechallenge.tfl.gov.uk/team/881 - and both your figures are correct. I guess the discrepancy is because of 10 people who are signed up but haven't logged any miles.

    ADDIT: there's the same discrepancy for us - 84 showing as members, 78 having logged.

    Today's 50 mile ride added which included a 22m10s min lap of Richmond Park, a new PB by 5 sec and would of been much quicker is not held up by police man stopping a commercial vehical. Also included a 13m7s climb up Box Hill timed from the roundabout / biker cafe at the bottom to cafe at the top. No idea how that compares as I've never climbed box hill before but I was chuffed with effort. 12 months ago I would have been walking up!

    Nice one! By coincidence, went up Box Hill myself today, on the previously mentioned Winchester-London ride. Total mileage 126.37, added in....

    Work team were doing well in the 2-10 category, but then someon approved member #11 which dumped us right down on the 11-50 category... Grrr! I know it's just for fun, but that's no way to win!

    If SCR will have me, I'll join SCR next year.

    Happy to see I am now in the top division! Nice wee 30 miler yesterday with full panniers and tent, just to check out the bike and my legs. Both held out well.

    I am now worried that I wont be able to stick on my miles from my tour... anyone know when the site closes for updates? I will not be home for a fortnight but will get in about 500 miles in the first week..... I may need to find and internet cafe!! However, they are probably few and far between on the bleak western isles! :?

  • Last year you could add or amend your mileage for several days after the final riding day. I haven't dug into the details this year, but I would be surprised if it wasn't the same this year.

    yeah , we need some new members to get their first 50 miles or whatever is is to get the extra points!!!

    conscription? :P
  • Oo look, a new graph!

    Curious that sudden jump in SKY's points on 2/7 but the point adding has been pretty consistent since then. LFGSS, who were 6th a week ago, are coming along nicely.

    w00t!!! Just checked the new graphs and am made up to find i'm in the premiership elite - on my FCN 11 MTB (knobblies, baggies etc...)! Cat 6 racer that I am...

    Need to bleed my Elixirs then I can get some more mileage.

    There was an off-road London to Paris run over Fri-Sun this weekend - any SCR with mileage (kilometerage?) to put on from that?

    stimpy! add those miles in! :)

    DM - when did SKY add a whole bunch of people? not around 2/7?

    Rich, I don't know if they added new people but they certainly added a bike shedload of points around then. I only thought about noting the figures on the 1st, when we were in 1st place, so I can't say about before then for sure.

    well SKY are nearly maxing out on people now? - we used to be pretty close in terms of rider numbers and at some point they added 15-20 people ...i think it was around then

    our team has 76 people? is there no one else we can badger?

    I just put in 47 miles to add to the 7 I did this morning.

    Won't be able to do anything like that again till Thursday.

    We need an unsrupulous member to join team Sky to give them that extra edge over us, they will need all the help they can get when they join the 100+ class.

  • And it's graph o'clock again.

    Big climbing lines are good:

    Championship+Elite.png

    (Apologies to ''chilling'' - clearly an error on my part. I'll sort it.)

    Horizontal lines mean people are either not cycling or they're not logging miles. And as there were loads of people out on bikes this evening, I reckon they just aren't logging onto Tears for London.
