Wild mix yesterday. Explored Squadratinhos around Erndtebrück which resulted in quite a bit bushwhacking. Tried my new iPhone 17 Pro camera out and compared it to my 15 Pro and my Olympus OMD E-M5. And did some Tempo and Threshold work on the bike in-between.

Wrote about tile collecting a bit already last week. ...

Tile collecting is a fun (in a nerdy, map lovers way) meta game motivation to explore more.

Might have been lost cause who swipes all the photos, right?  Tile collecting is a fun (in a nerdy, map lovers way) meta game motivation to explore more.  And so I did yesterday. Rode around Castrop-Rauxel and Dortmund to work on my northern Max Square boundary and collected 41 new tiles / squadrats as well as photographs of mining headstocks of the Ruhrgebiet.  Where do you find this? Either @squadrats_com which is new, free and quite accessible. Or @veloviewer which is kind of the og one and features this already since years. In fact, the first article I wrote about this topic on my blog is from 2017. Back then, my Max Square was 19x19. Leisurely grown here and there since then and it’s now 41x41. They just introduced new tile stats, even! Like Max Cluster Span, Max Connected etc. Fun! Squadrats.com on the other hand also features smaller Squadratinhos in addition to the roughly 1x1 mile Squadrats aka tiles (which are still my main interest) it features smaller Squadratinhos. I dabbled with those last weekend and may do so from time to time around my original home turf in Erndtebrück.   And lastly - you can start your tile hunting journey also via @statshunters and @rideeverytile. All of the above need a underlying Strava account provide the rides. #cycling #exploremore #cyclinglife #cyclingphotos #rideyourbike #explorertiles #tilehunting #Veloviewer #squadrats"

Wieso habe ich die #explorertiles da noch nicht?

Fürs #stadtradeln wollten auch noch ein paar km gefahren werden.

Wenn #bikerouter einen da noch nie lang geschickt hat, sollte es mir zu denken geben. Aber egal, die Kacheln sollten es heute werden.

4km feinstes Kopfsteinpflaster.🙄

#ExplorerSquare upgelevelt von 39 auf 41 mit einer Fahrt von Westerhausen (bei Melle, Osna) nach Rahden (bei nichts größerem 🤪 ). Wo man so hin kommt dabei.
