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
