My 6 day mini holiday has had a bit of an impact on my stats.
It started off looking like this:
11009 tiles
Max square 27x27
Max cluster 1422
And it finished like this:
11158 tiles
Max square 27x27
Max Cluster: 1696
I did about 400km in total, in temps upto 32°C. It's started with a 200k to Groningen to finish my RRTY, then 3 days of filling in gaps around the Veluwe, then today rode from Arnhem to Hilversum to fill in the gaps and connect my Veluwe clump to the main cluster. I had one small issue with a faded sign on an unlocked gate, which I've since realised said "no entry" but in Dutch. I went into a compound, and found all the gates out of it were locked. This resulted in 10km of sand, gravel, and comedy off roading... And then came out the gate I'd gone in through. As I'm following the track back to the main road, a woman comes out of a drive way.
"have you come from the forest"
"Just to the gate and back" (technically true, just not saying which gate)
"This is a private road"
"That'll teach me for following Google maps"
"Yep, Google maps is useless, have a good ride"
This is the second time I've managed to blame Google maps for being where I shouldn't...
The next day I had a small issue that if you use the Strava heat map to pick a route, make sure it's not an MTB trail...
While following a MTB trail complete with berms and other such fun stuff, it turns out the trailer position on the earth does not match the map, and I missed the tile by... About 10m... Ah well. Just means I'll have to go ride in the Veluwe some more... tragic...
Twas a very good weekend. Lots of ice-cream. Lots of fun bike challenges. And a cluster jump or 267!!
