Well, no, not that seriously. I was fiddling around with graphs and spreadsheets anyway, plus I had a dodgy knee so thought why not....

On reflection, though, I find the world much easier to understand through shapes. I was always useless at algebra but good at geometry. I guess I find images less ''serious'' than numbers.

Happy to remove them if they're offending your sensibilities.

800 miles behind, that's only an extra 10 miles each. Time to extend the commute home tonight...

Pivot tables, that's the way forward. Carefully regimented fun ftw!

No, they are cool!

Dear me Clever Pun, surely you are not too cool for us all?

The graphs are getting some stick on LGFSS. They don't appreciate a good graph, they are still stuck in the dark ages of information with their endless lists.

Here's a list for them:

1 40350 10564 SKY
2 37804 9838 Silly Commuter Racers
3 27664 5362 Royal Bank of Scotland Cyclists
4 25223 5125 Imperial College London
5 24321 5679 UBS
6 23937 6165 LFGSS

Or, as I prefer to see it...

Shouldn't they be worrying about UBS, ICL, and RBS first?



It's a shame we can't look into other team's mileage - there can't be many other cyclists to rival GBSahne's figures..

Sorry guys - a server move turned into a nightmare so didn't cycle in on Monday because I'd not left the office from the day before :?

Back on the bike today, will add my mileage in

I'm doin poorly this year must be said can we nudge the admins to just double check the numbers of new entries on team sky?

I can only see team members not mileage for sky!
As for us someone needs to log another mile or a ride so we can crack 10,000! I just added my commute from this morning and we're now on 9,999 miles :-D

Could one more join?

Approved! As for the SCR thing I know there are a few cyclist around the town you have in your profile - I used to live there :-) Not that I'm far away now.....
Anyhow welcome and feel free to log some miles to get us past 10K miles!

Should I go the long way home over the Erskine Bridge tonight?

Definitely there are cyclists, except my commute is southwards so everyone's going the opposite way!

I've logged about 100 miles I think now, since last week

Ah the nice way :-) I was once cycling to the Amsys Apple training centre down in Kenley and it was great heading out that way!

I meant the tfl site admins - something smells fishy in the sky camp...

You've got to remember that SKY have a pretty healthy internal cycling club and they take huge numbers to the Etap and Marmotte. Last year they were competing with the BBC with well over 100 members.

Now on the 11-50 group and the two of them have totalled 11200 miles

It's a wonder they have time to sell any sandwiches

nice work marmoset!

we're only 400 miles behind them now!

Wallace1492

Erskine Bridge on way home last night, a lovely 22.5 miles. Extra 1 mile on way in this morning..... hey! it all counts.... brings me to just over 200 for the team.

richVSrich

we're still 400 miles behind them, but just over 2000 points behind! (BUT this could equate to a 1000 miles (2 points per mile)!!!)

those first 24 miles that people do count the most (10 points/mile) , so if you havent logged any yet...get a move on!

Pufftmw

Just found out one of my guys did 95 miles over the weekend

gbsahne001

I have a 300k outing this weekend; starts at 2am and involves no hills, allegedly.

See its this - I think they've been filtering in users who've done a few miles and then booted them off the team.

To be fair to LFGSS, hipster fixies and tight jeans aren't designed for distance. :P

can you do that?

but surely the team would lose their miles / points when they get booted?
