Hi Philip,

No need to apologise, it's not obvious! There was a problem with the
cycle map last week, and the weekly update didn't happen at all. It's
just finished updating with this week's data, and it's now working
through the tiles re-rendering them. It actually takes more than a
week to render all the tiles, but it'll get there eventually. If
there's any spare capacity on the tileserver, then just looking at the
area causes it to be bumped up to the top of the list of places for a
refresh.

If you want to let me know whereabouts you've been editing, I can keep
an eye on it for you.

Thanks,
Andy
