I think it's not so much of an excuse to get out, as a push to get off your regular routes
Anyone heard of this "Turf" game?

I planned to make it more addictive by taking one of your zones tonight, except I arrived at the Hurlet, knowing that you'd taken a zone with that name, only to find that the zone was at the wrong end of the Hurlet road.Yeah yeah yeah, ok I hear you both, turn the wee guy off.
I knew I missed a couple but got to leave some for another day.
I just took a couple to try it, even got the one by the school grounds as I realised it was closed. Changed route a bit to grab a couple by the water but don't think I'll be doing that again as I'm definitely a roadie and never comfortable when up to the axles in mud. There is one at the back of the airport but I think it's in the building site at the new bridge so might have to get creative with that. Can see this getting addictive.
You got lucky, you get to keep it... for today

True but it's so stop-start. And I really don't want to spend my year going into dodgy areas of Dewsbury/Leeds/etc.

Spent hours last night coming up with a 37 mile route that took in as many zones as I could, because the major bottleneck for me is deciding which zone to go to next and having to navigate on the fly, if I just follow the Garmin I should be able to optimise my rides.
Then I checked the forecast.

I had a similar plan until I realised I was bushed after a days work. Saturday is not looking any better but I'm hopeful for Sunday.Spent hours last night coming up with a 37 mile route that took in as many zones as I could, because the major bottleneck for me is deciding which zone to go to next and having to navigate on the fly, if I just follow the Garmin I should be able to optimise my rides.

Oh, good point. I don't need to skip capturing your zone in the Academy grounds because the school will be shut *edits tcx file*I had a similar plan until I realised I was bushed after a days work. Saturday is not looking any better but I'm hopeful for Sunday.
Biiiig walk today. Some silly sods swung around a couple of hours after me and took most of the stuff I took today.
I don't think they realise that I'm fairly placid and don't go out of my way to aggro people right up until it's clear that they're specifically targeting me. I even let them take some neutral territory nearby a few days ago and I didn't mount a response.
These people will have no zones tomorrow.

Hurts, doesn't it.
I took one of your zones several days after you captured it, to try and give you a bit of fighting spirit, I was already in the area, you are within your rights to reconquer the Academy, and since I have a mortal fear of riding the Hurlet westbound I probably can't do anything to stop youHurts, doesn't it.
They swept in 2 hours after I'd visited (so shortly after I logged off) and undid most of my work, including zones that hadn't been visited for weeks before I went out of my way to visit them today. That's just not cricket. Having no zones to their name is a fate they deserve. And it's a fate they're going to receive

My local rival's been hit hard this month. Instead of getting most of mine he's been confined to repeatedly having to re-capture the zones near where he lives.
As a result I've been over 100 zones much of the time without too much effort. I'm guessing they'll get wise to the tactics though.

Yeah, once you get a certain critical mass of zones it requires serious effort or teaming up to dislodge you.
My main rival and I have pretty much been at peace for a while now, other than the constant recapture of the zones around a local park which are fair game. How long this peace lasts is anybody's guess.

Forget what I wrote yesterday - someone's come across from about 15 miles away and wiped all mine out today! Looks like they drove over then have been round on a road bike - they went once onto an off-road section then promptly turned round.
