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.

Torsten Frank on Instagram: "Wrote about tile collecting a bit already last week. 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.

The view from "Monte Bellino" down into the valley. The Valle Maira behind us. You have to want to make the last few meters up to the summit. The trail that leads directly down from the summit - you definitely want to 😁

How small we are in the middle of such nature. How grateful I am to be able to take in moments like this.

Piemont, my pearl. Valle Maira.

(30) Rundtour am Monte Bellino
Diese Tour über Weiden und Gipfelgestein bietet einen atemberaubenden Blick auf die Bergkämme der französisch-italienischen Grenze und die Felswände des Castello Provenzale. Die Tour beginnt in Acceglio, wo man der asphaltierten Straße in Richtung Chiappera folgt. In der Ortschaft Villar biegt man rechts ab, um zunächst auf Asphalt, dann auf einer unbefestigten Straße ins Traversiera-Tal…
