I added over 300 new tiles last weekend but my max cluster & square are unchanged.
Trouble is, I've lost my cycling mojo for local rides, so plotting routes specific to my veloviewer goals is just a bit "meh", particularly as they involve busy A roads to the south, and urban nastiness to the north.
Currently looking at audax uk events instead, as i'm loving being further afield.

Yep I had a fair bit of urban nastiness yesterday but was pleasantly surprised when the route also took me through Walsall Arboretum and Sutton Park.

Had a similar feeling last year where it was so annoying to have to do long distances just to grab one or two tiles, as I'd already claimed everything (that was feasible with a road bike anyway) within 25 miles of my house, that I decided to do a different challenge for a while.
As I'd only recently purchased a new bike, I set up a bookmark to VeloViewer's activity page where it only showed rides I'd done on that bike. Because I'd done all the back routes to gain those hard to reach tiles just the once on my old bike, the new map looked like a patchwork quilt, so I started to fill in the blanks again and do some of the easy to cross off local odd tiles. I'm not going to revisit every tile that I did on the old bike, but enough to make the map look a little bit better.

Took the opportunity of my last day off before I head back to work to start whittling down the gap on my map in North London between Edgeware and Twickenham.
14 new tiles added; one I was very lucky to get as the road was closed due to a burst water main, but I went up as close as I could get to the road closure sign (riding past a number of other signs) before U-turning and picking up the diversion. Thankfully that was enough to get the tile (and the diversion would NOT have gone through it) but I didn't know that until after I uploaded the ride when I got home!
