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

Max Cluster Span Goals with Elmar Hogenboom

We have had our eye on the tiling adventures of Dutch rider Elmar Hogenboom as he sits in a very impressive 1st place in the Explorer Max Cluster Span leaderboard. It is thanks to Elmar this VeloViewer leaderboard was created after his request to Ben.

To achieve this amazing feat Elmar developed a Max Cluster spanning from Germany’s North Baltic coast down to Alicante (half way down Spain’s East Coast).

We checked in with Elmar to find out about his impressive position, how he hit his goals, and the challenges along the way.

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.

VeloViewer Infographic Check-In

With over half of 2025 completed, VeloViewer infographics are starting to look pretty as they tell a story of riders adventures for the year to-date. Our end of year VV Wrapped is renowned for being shared in the new year and is a visual way to depict the year of training. 

For some, the infographic data is a closely guarded secret which will not be revealed until the close of 2025, but we have spotted a few out in the wild and so have been checking in with riders on their progress.

Cycling enthusiast and YouTuber Scottish rider Stuart Dick shared his Infographic with us, and we wanted to see how his year was progressing, and what his motivations were to get out and ride. Continue reading

Explorer tile hunting

Our favourite emails to receive are from VeloViewer subscribers with tales of their explorer tile hunting. We’re always shocked at the lengths people go to, but also inspired by adventure seekers who find new ways to claim a tile, along with the buzz it gives them!

We were contacted recently by British Columbian Anna Bonga who shared details of her and her husband’s mountain biking adventure with the sole focus of collecting tiles. The journey involved riding, climbing and bushwhacking through prickly bushes and alongside downed trees, whilst also carrying ice axes just in case the soil gave way and they needed to pull themselves back up the slope!

Viewing all of your Strava Photos on VeloViewer


If you are anything like me then looking back at photographs from past adventures brings all of those feelings rushing back. Whether it was of that ludicrous ride where you bit off far more than you could chew (I blame Simon Warren for most of those) or that image of the fantastic cafe stop when chewing was the highlight.  With the integration of your Strava photos into VeloViewer you can now browse through all of your exploits on the map or thumbnail view with the added benefit of VeloViewer’s activity filtering to quickly narrow down the photos you want to see.
