Yes, created my own GIF from two screenshots of VeloViewer - one before and one after the ride.

As for your comment about checking tiles while you’re still riding, unfortunately my GPS device can’t install the apps required, so I just have to plan my route very carefully on VV and Strava in advance to take care of every eventuality. If yesterday I’d have had the info “live” as it were, I’d have known I didn’t need to take the first spur as it turns out I’d managed to cross into that tile already just by being on the main road.

What works for me though, is when plotting my route, for any spurs I want to do, I put the marker in Strava Route Planner just literally over the border (like by maybe a few pixels). When it comes time to ride, I then go down that spur and wait until my Garmin beeps that I am off course and need to turn around. I’ve found that usually happens about 50-100 metres after my plotted point - certainly have never failed to cross off a tile yet!

Out to Solihull today to get 18 new squares, which also increased the cluster by 18.

I rode out to colour in some missed tiles between Newbury and Reading.
73 km ride to add 12 new tiles
Max cluster increased by 34 (to 604)
Max square increased by 1 to 20x20

I think I need to finish joining up the big cluster to those around Wokingham/Bracknell but that involves riding closer to Reading and folk really can't drive there!

just looking at two screen shots that show my progress over the last month and in the second added my ambition for the year with a green box - a square that encompasses the M25...perhaps too much but something to set the agenda for rides. I've done about a 1000km last month but everything is getting much longer now so progress likely to slow..apologies for scale difference

Featuring the Fosse Way!

Cluster: 429->464 +35

Where the A37 leaves the line of the Fosse to go to the Podimore Roundabout

I went and got the Wittering squares today, all very easy to get if you don't mind riding on the A47

 

[Supersuperleeds]

just checked the ride and the Wittering jaunt added 10 more squares and increased the max cluster by 21.

No prizes for guessing where I live:

I'm amazed you can do all that from Hunstanton

awesome tiling...

 

[Global Nomad]

ticked of some tiles taking the scenic route home from my mum - out south east before heading back to east london, linked up a bunch of tiles into the cluster - tipped over 1k to 1008 tiles

I rode alongside the a1 to take a picture of the gate guardian once!! Its the one to the north of the airfield I was worried about. I wasn't sure if it was in the airfield grounds.

It's fenced off but I just climbed over.



Only kidding, you get the square well before.


Oh and if anyone didn't know, Leeds are going up.

Cool! I'll do that next time I'm out that way.

I'd heard you guys were going up.....maybe you should ride to the first game back wherever it is?

My first century of the year saw me pick up another 35 squares today and see some cricket! Bit of a frustrating ride in many ways, lots of dead end turns and a 1 mile climb just to descend it!
