Oh well, I'm planning to go out again tomorrow to pick off a few more so I'll tweak the route to take in those two. With another one I've got on my hit list for tomorrow, that will also take my max square up from 10 to 12.
I am a bloody idiot. On today's ride, I decided to take a shortcut home rather than stop off for coffee and cake as I'd originally planned - the detour to the cafe would have nabbed an awkward tile I've been aiming for. Curses!
None the less, it was a very enjoyable ride, and at least I managed to pick off the two tiles I missed yesterday - I've also discovered some seriously lovely lanes I've never ridden before, partly because they're a bit 'cross country' so rather lumpy, but absolutely worth it. Some to bear in mind for future audax route planning...
Bagged another 12 tiles to increase my max cluster from 378 to 425, and by virtue of my max square shifting position slightly, it's now up from 10x10 to 13x13. Annoyingly, if I'd got that tile I missed, it would be up to 15x15.
My coverage of East Kent is starting to look quite healthy - I've got another couple of routes worked out that will fill in most of the gaps around Folkestone and Dover, and I've still got to find time for an MTB outing to Sandwich to tick off that cluster, but it won't be long before I'll have to start expanding westwards...
This is proving a much more satisfying way to spend my Christmas break than slogging round pointless miles to do the Festive 500.
