137  (it seems slightly improper to know. Especially with a zero on the Spooner Real Rides scale. [AND it includes some 100s  :-[ ... All ridden to though  :) , and very good occasions].

It would also seem wrong not to answer, as other people's numbers/comments are always interesting!

117, of which 23 BP (mainly on the tandem), the remainder BR.

None on Mr Spooner's scale (nor will there ever be!)

190 points, 48.25 AAA

72. 

Of which 56 were in the last 3 years.

First one was in 1982 when I was but a callow "yoot".

25 - like Craig only found out about AUK last year - wish I'd know about it in the 80s :(

At the moment I am far too sensible to have appeared on the Spooner Scale.

No official ones, but I was training for BMB so I rode 2x200km routes under audax conditions 1 x 300km,1 x 400km and 1 x 600km. One of the two 200 was a failed 300 :(

I haven't, but suspect it's been a close call on the odd occasion.

49, I think.  I'll have to check when I get home.  No Spooners, oddly enough.

Fifteen.

I only count rides of 1000km or longer
It has previously been discussed that every cyclist has a magic number x, which is the highest value where:
you have ridden x rides of x miles.

We could do this for Audaxes measured in points. So John's number is at least 10. Any advance?

There's a big gap (in event numbers) from 6 to 10 or 12.

So I've done an awful lot more than 6 600s, but fewer than 10 1000s - as I suspect have very many other people.

85, including 3 spooners.

I was particularly impressed with this:

134
1 Spooner
0 DNF

Seems to indicate a lot of determination and/or good luck!
