There are some riders that rack up such huge mileage that the rest of us are left asking whether or not we’re doing enough riding. Tim Searle is one of those. The Aussie based Brit tops the Zwift mileage leaderboard with a whopping 216,302km (as of June 30) and signed up to the CW5000 back in May. 

Tim was an early adopter of Zwift in 2015 when a nasty crash resulted in an injury and forced him to train indoors more. He now leads one of the biggest group rides on the platform - the AHDR or Aussie Hump Day Ride. (Wednesday is hump day in Australia, as once you’re over the hump of the week you’re on your way to the weekend.)
