VeloViewer Explorer Score and Max Square

[sparklyfish]

welcome to the square side! We have... ummm... squares. But they're very lovely and squarey.

Mine isn’t as impressive as most on here, 17x17, 495 cluster & 5310 individual tiles.  In my defence though I only started routinely recording my rides 3 years ago when I bought a Garmin watch. Prior to that I sporadically used an old Garmin 705. When I plugged it into the PC for the first time in 10 years most of my rides, (and all of the long rides), had been overwritten and lost.

Anyway, went out last night for a Sunday evening ride, bagged 7 troublesome tiles and timed it to arrive at Mrs B’s work for Midnight and ride home with her.  I also discovered that in Blyth and Bedlingtion quite a few of the usual types still own recently banned devil dogs. They seem to bring them out for walkies very late at night.

Have finally given into the temptation, so am just starting to fill in the gaps in rides that criss-cross the country from years of Audax, club runs, trips to my caravan in Selsey and commutes.  It has already enticed me down a few dead ends that I've left behind.  There are a few squares like the one in Hackwood Park that will have to wait until April or May when the gravel tracks have dried out and are no longer knee deep in water - so I expect that my max square won't get much bigger than 12x12 until then.

I have also started to take notice of my squares. I only started cycling about 5 years ago and up until I found Audax hadn't cycled out of my home town.
Thanks to sparklyfish, felstedrider and psyclist's encouragement ( I am so easily led ) I have now gone from 12x12 in December to 20x20 now. 

Off to bag another 4 tiles after work today

98 new squares on @sg37409 's Roseneath Randonnee on Saturday.
Now at 11810 squares, and still 18x18 max square

Squaredax in Herts this week - Hemel Hempstead routing fail...



but max square pretty good - now on two 52x52:



I've started collecting BCQs at the same time as squares, so ticked off most of the Hertfordshire BCQs on the same ride. Fun fun fun!

BCQs??

Lovely square by the way, mine nearly butts up to yours from the South West, so would look great combined!

And I have a square due south (ie London!)

[sparklyfish]

ahhhh, imagine a combined YACF max square...

[Kim]

ahhhh, imagine a combined YACF max square...

This really ought to be a thing.  No, I'm not offering to do it.

It wouldn't be too hard to patch together some KML exports.

The YACF max cluster might be interesting...

Maybe we could ask Ride Every Tile to add a Club filter to the heatmap...

I thought that the heatmap had disappeared so I Googled it, found it and didn't really understand what I was looking at as it was showing blank tiles in my max square.

[Pingu]

I think that site is no longer being updated. Can you see this from Veloviewer?

I can, yes. It doesn't seem to have an option to filter, sadly. It also turns out my data is not public, so isn't being included.

I think you must manually upload your rides to rideeverytile.com There appears to be no sync with Strava

Statshunters can theoretically create a heatmap for a club. I gave up after waiting for an hour for something to appear.

I am moving from Android to iPhone. Is there an app yet?

[JonBuoy]

I know that it isn't quite what people were talking about but...

I got bored and downloaded the tiles of the top 10 Uk-based, non-private, YACF clusterers (Deano to Graeme).  This is what it looks like:



That white blob east of Oxford is Luton which seems understandable 

[L CC]

I should be in that but I'm private. I don't think I add anything though..

[Graeme]

Brilliant! We've still got a bit of work to do. I reckon I need to spend some time in the Preston to Liverpool area, which would also take my cluster coast to coast.

[Pingu]

If mine was included then more of NE Scotland would be filled in 

[Salvatore]

And if mine were included it would include nearly all a lot of the Machars peninsula in SW Scotland (one across from the Mull of Galloway)

[JonBuoy]

I'm really proud of my little squiggles round Pembrokeshire and Exmoor [/Slartibartfast]

My legs didn't exactly enjoy creating them.
