Mine is 58, though this is from swinney.net rather than veloviewer which is only my last few weeks of rides.

Actually, works fine on phone too.

Go to veloviewer. Update etc. go to summary tab. Scroll down to activity summary section. Click on the box with the dots in just to the right of your Edington number.

Will bring up a graph showing progress

I'm on 58 with just 2 rides to make it 60. Hoping to achieve that by end of the year.

I'm also enjoying the Explorer scores. So far:
5691 tiles, average of 3.161 mi per tile
Max square 13x13

Hoping to get that to a 15x15 square in the next few days (I think just one more tile visit will do it).

Cycling metric designed by Thomas Eddington.

Basically the number of rides that you have completed that are a minimum of that distance.

So an Eddington of 10 means that you have done 10 rides that have been a minimum of 10 miles.
50 score is 50 rides that where a minimum of 50 miles, so it gets exponentially more difficult the bigger the number.

Mine's 58, but I uploaded tour divide as one activity, if I had done each day separately, it should be around 78

You are correct.

It is length only and obviously longer rides are easier on road and with sympathetic terrain.

Yep. Distance only, the majority of mine are Mtb miles but not differentiated
