Just signed up to veloviewer, what is it and where do it find it?

Mine is 58, though this is from swinney.net rather than veloviewer which is only my last few weeks of rides.

Should've said I'm on my phone and it displays it badly.

On my phone also, and really can't make sense of it. It's been a long day, and it's too much for my addled brain

ianfitz · Post by **ianfitz** » Tue Dec 22, 2015 10:24 pm

It's very obvious on a full size computer.

But I'm on my phone too atm so can't show you the screen shots

ianfitz · Post by **ianfitz** » Tue Dec 22, 2015 10:28 pm

Actually, works fine on phone too.

Go to veloviewer. Update etc. go to summary tab. Scroll down to activity summary section. Click on the box with the dots in just to the right of your Edington number.

Will bring up a graph showing progress

I can't be the only one thinking it, so can I just ask ..... WTF is an Eddington number? Simple answers only please, thank you

Dave42w · Post by **Dave42w** » Tue Dec 22, 2015 10:44 pm

I'm on 58 with just 2 rides to make it 60. Hoping to achieve that by end of the year.

I'm also enjoying the Explorer scores. So far:
5691 tiles, average of 3.161 mi per tile
Max square 13x13

Hoping to get that to a 15x15 square in the next few days (I think just one more tile visit will do it).

Cycling metric designed by Thomas Eddington.

Basically the number of rides that you have completed that are a minimum of that distance.

So an Eddington of 10 means that you have done 10 rides that have been a minimum of 10 miles.
50 score is 50 rides that where a minimum of 50 miles, so it gets exponentially more difficult the bigger the number.

Thanks for the explanation as I was confused as hell!!!

Anyways, 41 miles / 52km.

I'll take that.

62 in imperial, 79 in metric.

Mine's 58, but I uploaded tour divide as one activity, if I had done each day separately, it should be around 78

Dont mean to be a nae sayer, but am I right in thinking it dosnt take into account road / off road, hilly / flat etc etc.

You are correct.

It is length only and obviously longer rides are easier on road and with sympathetic terrain.
