Geocache Description:

Cycling* - The Eagle Scout Series

This is one of the required merit badges that a scout needs to earn.

The cache is not at the posted coordinates.

I hope you like hiking. You will be doing a lot of that during this series of caches as you work your way toward finding the Eagle Scout Cache.

Cycling was one of my means of travel when I was in High School. Sometimes I only had one wheel and other times I had my 10-speed. This might seem like an easy merit badge, but sometimes the route you pick isn't as easy as you think. You must build up to be able to complete this merit badge in the time allowed. Bike riding is one of my favorite activities.

To find this cache, find the answers to these questions and then build the coordinates N 39 58.ABC W 111 40.XYZ

Review the requirements for this merit badge and use the requirement number for the answers.

A = In which requirement do you describe your state’s traffic laws for bicycles PLUS in which requirement do you clean and adjust a bicycle, preparing it for inspection using a bicycle safety checklist PLUS ONE?

B = In which requirement do you make six rides, two rides of 10 miles each, two rides of 15 miles each, and two rides of 25 miles each PLUS ONE?

C = In which requirement do you show how to adjust brakes, seat level and height, and steering tube?

X = Which requirement has you make a 50 mile ride PLUS TWO?

Y = Which requirement has you describe how to brake safely with foot brakes and with hand brakes?

Z = How many hours do you need to make the 50 mile ride in?

You can check your answers for this puzzle on Geochecker.com.
