5700 miles in a year is good going, let alone in the first month of the year.  I thought the weather might chomp out a few 100 miles, through enforced "easy" days, but didn't count on Steve's grit.   :)

5364. I'm sticking with a buffer of 100 over the 87129 target for the month. Steve's schedule is 188.5 miles per day. And February is 3 days shorter.

OK, same thread it is then.
But just to re-iterate... no bids after 20th of the month for which you are giving a mileage.  OK?


Steve was 20.3348518% percent ahead of Tommy at the end of January.  Applying the same factor to Tommy's February....

Steve's Feb: 5313

I think Steve will increase his daily mileage a fair bit next month, so I will predict a figure of 5578.

And congratulations, TGS - who would have thougt that he'd be a last-day slacker, eh?  :P

Feb: 5450

Reflecting fewer days in Feb but with extended distance.  But a deduction as February often has rough weather for cyclists.

That is a portent.

My father's second car, a Vauxhall Victor, 1962 vintage, had a registration plate OO 5547.

I think it was the first car I ever drove. It had 3 forward gears and a gear stick on the steering column.

Don't worry, ROC, just regard it as a security measure. If you ever forget them you can PM one of us and ask...

Nah, it's just distributed storage for security credentials. Properly implemented, that begins to sound quite sensible.

Interesting I make it 5740 from Strava files (yes I'm bored while being laid up) so where did i go wrong?

5321 for Feb

Strange. I made it 5744.8 on my spreadsheet, but took 5743 from Steve's website.

According to my schoolboy spreadsheet Steve is running at 189.6 average for the month to date, which would put him about 44 miles ahead of the 87129 target. Nobody else up for a guess for the monthly mileage?

Assuming the month carries on as it's started, this looks like a winner.

Don't know. If he keeps the current average going he'll be about 150 over the (stretch) target for the month

I notice that, with 5 days to go in Feb, Steve's mileage is currently 4432. Given that he's knocking out 200 miles a day now, I reckon McShroom must be favourite this month.

Wouldn't it be more interesting in future months to close bids around 4 or 5 days into the month rather than 4 or 5 days from the end?
