for the third year in a row, siggimus survives cycle to work
it is now five days since siggimus unmounted his trusty steed, & he has sufficiently recovered to bring you:
ctw 2011 report, extended version
in yet another victory of stubbornness and cantankerous determination, siggimus manages to cycle more than last year. last year he did a venerable 400,82 km, but this time around he went all the way up to 11 and turned in 528,42 km
yes, ladies & gentleman, that is, by siggimuses reckoning, roughly half the way to the moon
ctw 2011 in bullets:
- turned in full house, 15 days, or 100%
- going a total of 528,42 km
- taking approximately 27 hours 13 mins and 15 seconds, or so to do it
- which equates to roughly 19,3885950158155 km/h on average
- that’s an average of 35,23 km per day
- and 2 hours, 5 mins and 38 seconds per day on the bike
- this is 21,23 km over the 14 kms it takes to get to work and back
- each day
- a total of 318 km over the 210 km required to get to work and back 15 times
- that’s like going 35,2 times to work and back, in 15 days
- or to use a bigger number, 251,63% more cycling than required to merely go to work and then go home again
- 2 shortest days were 22,18 km
- one of those was in a cloud of ash, in full ninja gear
- longest 2 days were around 60 km
- first there was 58,9 km
- then there was 61,22 km
- there were bunnies, plenty of bunnies
- mostly, the weather was beautiful
- there was no snow
- well, none to speak of, and not while siggimus was cycling
- compared to 2010, this:
- equals 100% in days
- is 31,83% over the distance 400,82 km
- longest day 61,22 km vs. 77,55 last year
- compared to 2009, this is:
- better than 85,7% in days
- 129,28% over the distance 230,47 km
- compared to colleagues this is:
- fifth place, out of 41
- 167,27% of the overall average of 315,9 km
- 104,1% of the overall average of 14,4 days
- still, only 52,89% of what the #1 dood did (1018,3 km! (he’s french!!))
- the company ended up crushing the competition in its size group, plus:
- placed 15 in number of days total, with 14,41 (all the other companies at the top have 8 employees or less, vs. our 41)
- placed 3rd in total number of kms, with 315,9 (winner has 15 employees, 2nd place has 5)
- took a few pics along the way. you’ll find everything cycle-related here, start by scrolling past this post
now it’s your turn. tell siggimus he’s superhuman, that his stubbornness deserves a prize
(s)nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo(w)!

as evidenced by the rare scarcity of bicycles
quoth siggimus on facebook:
so, it’s a bit windy over here. flights cancelled, schools closed, roofs prematurely abandoning houses and such, but of course there is a bicycle outside work:
siggi blew to work on his bike
obviously, it’s the other siggi. this one’s still a cowardly weakling
