Posted on | by Lucy Sibbald | 1 Comment on Hitting an Eddington Score of 100+ with Robert Williams

Robert riding his road bikeVV Wrapped season has unearthed some phenomenal stories of rider achievements. One which we were keen to do a deep dive on was Robert Williams who chased 100 imperial centuries and hit 107 in 2025. This amazing achievement gives him an Eddington score of 100+ which is spectacular. Not only this, the icing on the cake for Robert is hitting 524,076 metres elevation for the year.

For VV fanatics who are familiar with the Eddington number you will know how impressive this is, for those who are not familiar with the term let’s give a quick recap before we share Robert’s story (for the full Eddington break down click here):

  • Your cycling Eddington number is calculated on the distance covered per day
  • Your Eddington Score is the largest distance where you have completed on that many days 
  • As an example, if you have completed 50 miles on 50 days your Eddington is 50
  • Named after British astrophysicist Sir Arthur Eddington, a cyclist himself in the early 1900’s, this is now used by cyclists to create tough cycling challenges and set personal goals

Spotting and resolving Flagged Strava Activities using VeloViewer

Posted on | by Ben Lowe | Leave a Comment on Spotting and resolving Flagged Strava Activities using VeloViewer

I’ve had a bit of a run lately of old Ride activities being auto-flagged as potential E-Bike rides as Strava’s algorithms work through trying to spot and deal with potentially mis-typed activities and other data anomalies. There was a time when I was relatively fit on the bike and it looks to be some of the rides where I had a bit of an effort that have been flagged. Once flagged, these activities will no longer appear on Segment Leaderboards in Strava or count towards your Summary/Leaderboard totals in VeloViewer. Fortunately they are prominently listed for you in VeloViewer and then easy to resolve in Strava.
