    Wow, nice going! I should break the 4000 for my first full calendar
    year of cycling since I was a teenager, mostly commuting.

    I am almost at 8,000 miles. I should get there by the end of the year,
    but may have to go around the block a few times on my last few commutes
    to make sure!

    4700 miles at 68 until my bike was purloined on Monday last week. Now
    researching for a replacement hybrid for my much modified Dawes Discovery
    501 which served me well.

    Going down the Rhein from its source to Rotterdam next year

    very impressive... is this (broadly) 300 days x ~30 miles; or 100
    weekend days x 100 miles?

    either way, a nice round total...

    My commute is 9.5 miles a day. I did do 29 rides of 100miles or more,
    four of 200 miles or more,

    18 points as designated by whom?

    The thing about Tony Parsons, though, the defining aspect of his

    18 AUK pts is fairly normal, 18 AAA pts is not. I have only totted up
    my 100k+ rides this year and come to 3600km, I really must zero my two
    odometers in January and make a proper log. Considering the Poor
    Student 200 in January, then lashings of reliability trials.

    Audax points. I know of two calander events he rode, I assume most of
    the points must be permanents. We have lots of variations on
    permanents available in South Wales created when John Hayes became the
    champion a few years ago.

    18 points since beginning of November is impressive though. I got 44
    points for the 2004-2005 season, so far 4 points for 2005-2006.

    I keep a spreadsheet for all rides, plots a graph with each months
    totals for each year.

    The Audax year is 1st November to 31 October. 18pts is not normal
    for this period.

    oh yes forgot about that; in fact my 2005 points total is higher
    because 2 are from last year whereas I have only earned 1 this year. I
    ride whenever I can, which needs to be a lot more by this time next
    year if I am to finish PBP.

    If that's what he's accumulated so far in the 2005/2006 Audax season
    then he clearly has /far/ too much time on his hands...

    I'm up to 1699km this year with a single year metric Eddington number of
    19. I've not calculated my lifetime Eddington number (partly because my
    records pre 2001 are imperial, and partly because I lost some records
    during 2002 and between 1973 & 1991, and partly because I just cant be
    a**ed (tm)).
    I'm not really sure that Eddington numbers tell you a great deal about
    relative fitness - fun all the same though.

    I've only managed 3,700 miles so far but it's the most I've done in a
    year since I retired (and, therefore, no longer had the daily commute to
    make me get on the bike each day) and it (just) beats my target of
    averaging of ten miles a day.

  19. Andrew -- good to see you still doing it. I aim for 20 mpday but do less.
    I make up for it on my yearly 2 month cycle/camping tour. 2006 ---down the
    Rhein --- up and down the Mosel , then down the Rhein to Rotterdam -- Hull
    and home it will be about 2000kms on my next bike + BOB trailer
