Who in your Strava cycling/running/swimming club has put down the most distance or climbing over the year? VeloViewer’s yearly leaderboards for whole array of different metrics might be just the ticket to finding out. Pick any of your Strava clubs or the list of people you follow to see year or all-time leaderboards for all of the key metrics.
Important note: Only data from users that use VeloViewer will be shown so encourage your club-mates to sign up to VeloViewer PRO and sync their data to feature in the leaderboards. The data is only as up-to-date as their last sync.
You’ll find the “Club & Overall Yearly Leaderboards” button near the top of your Summary page:
The overall distributions and leaderboards for all VeloViewer users are shown first and are described in this previous blog post and provide a great way to benchmark your progress against other people.
Club Leaderboard
Clicking on the “Clubs” tab provides you with a drop down of the Strava clubs which you are a member of, pick one of those and it’ll load the first leaderboard:
Note that some clubs are rather large (at the time of writing the GCN club has over 28,000 members) so it might take 30s or so to initially load up for those larger clubs. The leaderboards are cached once loaded and will only be updated every 6 hours.
Available Leaderboards
All leaderboards are available for the current year along with for all time and also can be broken down from all activity types to just view cycling, running or swimming leaderboards. For each of those you can then view the leaderboard by the following stats:
- Distance
- Elevation – take this one with a pinch of salt as it can be subject to error for numerous reasons
- Time – moving time, not elapsed time
- VeloViewer Score – explained in full here but basically the best PR performances relative to the number of other people on each leaderboard
- Eddington (mile) – the true Eddington number, the maximum number E such that the cyclist has cycled E miles on E days (I’ll explain this in more detail in a future blog post)
- Eddington (km)
- Eddington (minutes)
- Eddington (climbing m x20)
- Explorer (tiles) – more details here
- Explorer (max square)- more details here
- K-Index – similar to the Eddington number but using the number of Kudos you’ve received
Friends Leaderboard
The friends leaderboard shows the list of all the people you follow on Strava that are using VeloViewer. All the same leaderboard options are available:

Why not all friends’ profiles are available to view?
Ben Lowe says:
Only those people that have marked their VeloViewer as visible to public on the Update page Options will be available to view. By default they will be private so each person will need to opt in to make their data public.
Jelmer van der Gugten says:
Hey Ben,
In our club, with two people :), I cannot see the other cyclist but he can see me. We both set our options to ‘ show my details in Veloviewer leaderboards’. In Strava we can see each other’s rides. Can you maybe help?
Stravanumber is: 2294362
Ben Lowe says:
Hi Jelmer. I’ll send you an email as I need some more details.
Kate says:
Hi! Is there a way to customize the date range for a club leader board? For example, I’d like to see our club’s stats just for May.
Thanks!

Ben Lowe says:
I’m afraid it is just a yearly or all time leaderboard.
Hans Van de Velde says:
I’m interested to know this too

You will only see the club members who have their data sync’ed to VeloViewer and have opted in to have their data shown in the leaderboards. But you will see all of them that are e.g. the Hells500 club leaderboard
