  • Antibiotics mean no pub after 5-a-side so I made my 11k ride each way to footy (which I normally do at least one way by train) into a 22km and a 24km ride respectively. Yardinho up by 247.

    Also got the annoying tile to the West of the dump in Wandsworth, was passing and just decided to chance blasting past the security hut, but they didn't seem to care. Had my "sorry, someone gave me wrong directions" excuse at the ready but it wasn't necessary.

    Will try and fill in the big hole around Battersea over the next few weeks going to footy (will do it one way on a Boris Bike) and focus on West/South (Sheen, Richmond, Roehampton, Wimbledon, etc) with lunchtime rides from home.

    North I can extend one more row up but that involves paying £17.50 to go round the Wetland Centre.
    West I can extend one more until I run into the very tricky tiles on the Roehampton Club golf course (although I have a plan for these...)
    South and East are easy. Jonathan France is at 82x82 bounded by the same "impossible" tiles to the North/West.

  • Antibiotics mean no pub

    Mostly not a thing. Depends on what ABs you're banging.

    I did a short lunch ride and got some more little ones. I'm basically expanded to far (HIF) now so weekends are the only really interesting ones.

    Send me the impossible and I shall make them possible.

    Metronidazole, and heavy doses of it at that. It's one of the ones you really do not want to drink on. 1 more day of tablets and then 2 days of it getting out of my system and I'll be in the pub Monday.

    Yeah, I reckon I've got a good few weeks until I'll have expanded (GBIF) to cover everything within an hour return ride from home. From there I've just got to plan things a bit better. Tube/train and Boris Bike should help cover other random bits of London but the general plan is that this gets me back to fitness and then I start working on big tiles again in the Spring. I had planned on getting the whole of the inside of the M25 covered (again, big tiles) and a couple of strategic rides to Cambridge should extend my big tile yard all the way up there. Similarly I'm a couple of rides away from the yard going as far West as Newbury, and a few rides away from it going to Dungeness/Folkstone thanks to a few Audaxes down there.
