Velo Viewer

[Spartak]

Thanks guys - I've just found this option on Veloviewer after reading your posts, what a great function.
Just zoomed in on my North Wales activities...

A circuit round the perimeter of Dundee, big development going in on North side the countryside is disappearing.

As I'm a luddite without a smart phone I've not used Velo Viewer, however I had a go using DIY from GPX files off Mapmyride and a random website I found. Mostly, I've been around here:

I've got a 17x17 max square but am near the coast so am at one edge of it. That means I have to do longer and longer loops from home to get new tiles - 68 miles tomorrow for 2 new tiles. I'm thinking at some point it will be more fun to use assistance to cycle more new areas/get new tiles (e.g. cycle out and train back, or drive then loop), but that feels kind of cheating?

There are no rules . Just the ones you impose on yourself .A group of us used to cycle out ,train back . Being on the coast makes max square increase difficult to for max cluster

I've also come across citypainter.io which you link to Strava and it will log your activities on a map.
At present it only uses a few cities but I understand you can 'create your own', although I haven't used that function as Bristol is already included...

My April activities so far are in orange...
Whilst using the site you can zoom in, so you can accurately see the roads you've used...

That looks like my kind of riding place

Of all the cities on that list, I have no coverage in:
Renfrewshire
Aberdeenshire
Torbay
Plymouth

All the others I've at least been through once.

A proper Veloviewer square grabbing ride today. Over 6 miles of bridleway (which turned out to be mainly tarmac ) and 6 dead ends along the way.

102 miles in total which increased my squares by 20, the max cluster by 30 and now need just 3 consecutive squares down Wellingborough way to increase the max square

 

[Solocle]

Grabbed 19 new tiles today. No major cluster effects, but it wasn't actually a tile grabbing ride! Just rode down to Salisbury the least hilly way with my dad, and caught the train home.

I had an annoying square completely surrounded just above Nottingham city centre ,I thought bank holiday would be a good time to nab it. So out the door at 7 ,25 miles to the edge of Nottingham over the Trent to nab 4 more squares around Gedling before heading back to just enter that square then back over the Trent at Clifton and home. 71 miles for 5 squares ,total 5148 max cluster up 12 to 2663

How do you find your Square & Cluster count...?

Its on your summary page on the right hand side . Not sure if you get all the info unless you subscribed £10 a year

Been in the same general area today, doing some peak tiling.

Before:

After:

No max cluster effect, obviously, but 72 new tiles, and a much more healthy mini-cluster just begging to be connected. I'll get around to it. Eventually...

I would presume that was quite a lumpy ride ?
I need three Ilkeston squares to increse my northern edge
