I did go for this tile and after some faffing around (and some more mud, but less than yesterday) I ticked it off. Now finally gone over 1,000 for Max Cluster and completed the vertical for my next Square increase.

46 miler today which completed the top horizontal so now up to 29 x 29 Square.

HS2 tried to sabotage me, I was riding near the NEC/Airport and every road seemed to be shut by HS2. Finally managed to find my way out but had to ride on the main A45 and around the big motorway roundabouts.

On the plus side, the route took me into Sheldon Country Park which has an Airport Viewing area right by the runway.

An imperial ton ride targeting my top left corner which is now just above and west of Ashbourne in the peaks so it was a bit lumpy 5800ft of upness. I think my northern edge might be staying there as its my maximum range to ride it from home ,
Anyway 12 new squares total now 5974 ,max cluster up 16 to 3177 . Just need 3 squares on my left edge to get up to 50*50 but these are urban rides around Birmingham so won't to a great ride

Nice going.

I know what you mean about urban, I've recently braved the inner cities of Birminham and Coventry 😀

Managed to salvage Salamanca to Zamora, Garmin connect and Strava decided not to behave. Computer and a cable saved the run.

I went up to Rutland today and bagged a couple of tile there which took me from

to

I probably should have waited till summer though

A bit of Watling Street bagging yesterday/today.

Yesterday was a London radial with a view to future tiling, plus a chance to ride HS1, and Roman Road innit.

The Greenwich Meridian.

Today was more Watling Street action. But a detour, both tiling and otherwise, via Golders Green, which meant a section ridden on the North Circular.

Oh, wait, sorry.

Left two lanes for A41 a big traffic jam, some filtering, it was no biggie.

Golders Green:

Rode the Rollright Rumble Audax a couple of weeks ago, gave me some new tiles... 👍

Nice area for a ride, a pain to fill out with tiles, lumpy around the Cotswolds!

I remember Broadway being quite nice, and Chippy is lovely (maybe clouded with nostalgia of my first 40 miler up the A44 and back )

Yeah the Audax was great, first 25kms & last 10kms were flat....
The remaining 65kms weren't... But a great day out on the bike.

I realised towards the end of my outdoors workout today I was close to an OS tile I needed so I diverted down the ‘dead end’ lane to Little Catworth to get it. Its unlocked the Max Cluster quite a bit (from 845 to 861).



I’ll need to go back to the area with an off road bike sometime but today after yesterday’s

and last weeks

and multiple

days in the last month wasn’t the day to do so

I could get one of them by road but I’d have cross the A14 dual carriageway from Molesworth, and I dont think I fancy that

Crossing isn't so bad, just dont' expect to do it quickly . I've got some ones that might need byway + A303 action. Made sure to go for left turns, not right.

Yip, the wrong time on the A14 you'd probably be waiting an hour

A ride out to Brum today to bag squares around the city centre:

15 new squares in total which now has taken my max cluster to Birmingham:

 

[13 rider]

Another imperial ton ride to gather some squares on my western edge ,which is not quite as far west as @Supersuperleeds but does reach the suburbs of Birmingham ,21 new squares total now 5995 max cluster up by 18 to 3211 but a jump of 1 on my max square getting to a half century of 50* 50 .
Annoyingly I missed a square on my 51 line which only required about a 20 yard up an back ,When it came upon the wahoo I thought I just made an error as I forgot I planned it
