Nicked a route from @tallliman to Boston, couple of little tweaks to pick up some different squares saw me bag 60 new squares and increase the max cluster by 58. Max cluster now links directly with Boston from Leicester. (Previously it went to Boston but via Lincoln.)

@tallliman your route was great, all the roads were proper tarmac and in pretty good condition apart from one. The one up Brown's Drove at Swineshead Bridge turned into a dirt track and then turned into a field road through a ploughed field, it was okay today because it was dry, but would be horrendous to do in the wet. It wasn't much fun doing it on a knackered front wheel but it was for two squares and it looks like that is the only way to them so I had to plough on

Followed @Supersuperleeds but about 4 hrs later. 40ish new squares....max cluster now connected to Leicester too

Just seen your ride on Strava, were you hit coming off the A17? I didn't like riding down that bit but luckily I only had one car come by me.

Yeah, the right hand turn. Chap turning right to go north didnt see me.

This months century ride saw me grab 20 tiles, max cluster up from 630 to 684, but max sq still 12x12

This month's century ride was another tile grabber, max cluster up to 738, but struggling to increase the max sq

Ride out today saw me get the final square around Birmingham Airport. Saw not one aeroplane in the sky.

24 squares in total bagged, increasing the cluster by 23 to 3,889 and total tiles to 5,574.

Gone a little quiet on here. I guess everyone is being good & staying local 🤔 I managed to grab an odd square today that was one of the few locally, cluster up 6 to 738 now 👍 There's another couple of local one which involve footpaths, so have been waiting for dry weather. Might grab them both next week. Might even see my max sq increase

My closest square is now 32 miles away, so it might be some time before I bag my next one.

You ought to have a tile trading scheme. Swap your local tiles to gain ones too far away at the moment.

In order to improve my square I have to grab some tiles in Belgium. But the border is closed so no options for me at the moment.

My veloviewer sub has run out. Not going to bother renewing it until we can go riding up unhindered.

Bagged a square on a sunny Friday evening ride down to Atherstone. I took advantage of the quiet roads to nab it as it was a two mile stretch down the normally very busy A444 to its junction with the A42/M42.
Max square now 15x15.

Yeah, rode over to and through Measham and up to the Cricketts at Acresford then came back on myself to do it. It was an ideal time to do it- as you say, it’s not the best road to ride on. Not a single car passed me!

I’m about to join this tile / square collecting as something to do locally during lockdown. It’s the pro / £10 a year account I need isn’t it?
