Not sure if anyone has heard of this, but the Eddington number is a particular way of measuring the length/number of rides in a sort of exponential way. An Eddington number of 46 means you have done 46 rides of 46 miles or more. There is also a metric number which isn't as simple as converting 46 miles into 74 km.

More detailed explanation here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Eddington#E_number

This web site will link to your Strava account (provided you give it permission) and calculate it for you:

A bit of fun, basically. My numbers are 46 (miles) and 68 (km).

Just had a look at this. My numbers are 52(m) and 68(km). Interestingly, the three of us so far are pretty much the same😁

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
