I've just uploaded a cycling holiday and despite me having ridden most of the routes before, I managed without planning to pick up 3 more tiles.

My site visit today got me 3 more tiles down in Hertfordshire. Although according to the stats, I've added 4

Found it, it was my April Bank Holiday ride to Colmworth Golf Club cafe.

A drive to the start ride today , My Northern edge is just into the Peak district making adding any squares from home an epic day out with lots of climbing hence why I've concentrated on my Southern edge . 31 miles surrounding Carsington Water which had just 3127ft of upness most of which seemed to be over 10%😵‍💫. Added 15 new squares total now 7432 ,max cluster went up 35 as a filled in a big gap total now 3947

Another drive to the start headed out to Lincolnshire to ride to the bomber county Lancaster bomber statue thing route added 21 squares total now 7454 ,made cluster went up 42 to 3989 . See if you can spot the route planning error as I followed the route correctly

A photo of the bomber statue is rather large

Really grabbing squares in a big way at the moment slowly getting to a least a 2 *2 jump in my Max square up to 58*58 which is this year's target .An imperial ton ride to my southern edge gained me another 25 squares

A bit of gravel riding at Bishops Tachbrook which was interesting on my 2nd bike which has 23mm tyres pumped up to 95psi so not that comfortable either

Yes indeed I'd been putting off grabbing the square immediately below my Max square in the centre of Warwick for a while but it was needed for the my next upgrade , was going to do it last Sunday but a broken spoke early into the ride put paid to that ride and I was concerned about the traffic in the week but it wasn't that bad . It still surprises me when I come that way how much HS2 work must affect local traffic luckily this ride didn't really get affected by it but plan a long ride to say Hatton locks from here requires a lot of roadworks checking as most diversions are not designed for bikes . Near 3 more squares on my bottom left corner so I may plan a ride out from Hatton locks as the parking ok there

There is a free car park as far as I recall - but if not you could find spots nearby anyway. Give me a shout if you want company for part of your ride.

16 new squares on my Southern edge following an imperial century ride . Had to leave 1 for another day ,the road turned into a private driveway about 200mts short for me . The CCTV and strictly private signs did deter me . There was a footpath option but it looked pretty rough and having just plugged my tubeless tyre I didn't want to risk further issues 50 miles from home . I think there's a footpath from the north for my 2nd attempt

Total square 7040 ,max cluster 3877

I was doing a bike orienteering event from Long Itchington today and 'accidentally' picked up that tile. I was following the bridleway from the southeast which was horribly hoofy at times. I accidentally got four others too

Yes, I'm sure 10 miles on local bridleways / towpaths is harder than 50 on road

My overall speed today was about two thirds of what I would expect to achieve on a road ride but there was a fair amount of road riding. As a first approximation I reckon on a factor of 2 to convert from on road to off road. Today felt like a round of the World gate opening championships 🙄
