Here’s mine, which illustrates the problem I have... Since I live on the coast, on a bit that slants diagonally, I’m a bit limited in the directions I can go unless I get a pedalo! I live in Saltcoats - near the bit on the map below that says “Ardr” (Ardrossan) - so I actually live outside my max squares!

There’s a little peninsula just southeast of where I live - 3 squares there - but being an explosives factory, it’s well fenced off. And the 6 squares a few miles north of me are moorland with no roads or paths. Same with the larger section further north.

I like the route around Arran. You need to ride your bike around the ferry next time you go across

You can see that my battery went flat when I did the “round arran” last year... :-)

I wondered what happened there, gives you an excuse to go do it again. Is it possible to get all the squares on Arran? Just had a look, would involve a lot of hiking

Here's my 24x24 max square and some of the extent of my local exploring....the lines go as far as Newcastle, Norfolk and the South Coast!!

When you want to head south we can easily knock off all those squares around Glen Parva.

This is my veloviewer map. It is only 8x8, but it is increasing gradually. I am slightly hampered by the Thames to the south and the North Sea to the East. There is also London to the west.

@Supersuperleeds, cheers. Just need a weekend where the wind is right! I really want to get the cluster to Lincoln.

Because virtually all my rides are in one area, I had to turn down the route opacity option as otherwise my map just looked like a giant blob of red lines and you couldn't see any of the map details! I do have a few rides in other areas of the country (and my London rides go off the bottom of this picture), but none of them are joined up to my main cluster.

@bruce1530 Can't you jump over the Bridge of Scottish In(ter)vention?

 

[Supersuperleeds]

Max cluster now 1299. @13 rider you were right about the Earl Shilton square, good job I rode up the track with you as even though I had it, I hadn't actually ridden in it!

Squares 1947 ,cluster 873 back to 22*22 thanks to regaining that square . Need to reduce some near cafe Ventoux to get all squares back

 

[tallliman]

After this weekend, over 3,300 squares, max cluster over 1,100! Max square 24x24

105km ride today to target several squares that involved some off-road. Wanted to get them done before the ground conditions deteriorated when winter finally gets here. Max square 28x28 , Max Cluster 1023.

Annoyed about one square as I was a few meters short and it involved about 100m of riding over pretty big stones (for 23mm road tyres anyway). The original GPS trace shows I did make a small turn at the end of the track towards the square but not far enough. 3x GPS on board and no amount of getting Veloviewer to calculate the true tiles covered made any difference. No choice but to revisit.
