After such a large turn out last year we wanted to do this event
again. There are new caches on this trail so come on back for
another fun bike ride. This will pretty much be the same as last
year. Look for more updates to the page.
SCHEDULE:
9:01 Welcome greetings and
the log book will be opened
9:02 Mingle. Tell bike
stories about flat tires and sore bums, you know like fish stories
of the one that got away.
9:15 Prepare for prize
giveaways and drawings
9:25 Award/Draw
prizes
9:29 Line up the walkers
and bikers for a group photo
9:30 Event Ends and
optional bike ride begins
UPDATE: The weather is looking much better than last Saturday. It
will be a cold start (mid 30s) but will warm up to 50 by noon.
Bring gloves for the hands they get cold
while biking. We will have water, donut holes (munchkins) and
coffee to get us started. Also if you are planning on doing all the
caches there are at least two that it would be very helpful to have
a flashlight for. There are still a few new caches waiting to be
published (hopefully) so keep an eye out for them. Final note about
restrooms along the way: there are none. However there are 2 places
along the trail that you could take a short side trip. At "BT-Coast
Guard Fleet" you will be along a road if you take this road east
you will find a Foodlion and a Sheetz about a 1/2 mile off the
trail. Also at "Bike Trail - Pick One" across the road is a little
shopping complex you can see it. There is a Kings Pizza there. If
you have any questions at the event be sure to ask. See you
tomorrow!
IMPORTANT UPDATE ON SHUTTLE SERVICE: Would you like the freedom of
not having to wait for the shuttle when you get to the other end of
the trail? Because I have to shuttle my bikes to the start I will
be passing by the parking on the final end twice. Once on my way to
drop off my bikes and then when I return the car/trailer to that
parking. (The wife is brining us back to the start in the other
car). First pick up time is 8:00 (6 Seats) and at 8:30 (3
Seats). You will need to drop your bikes off at the start and
meet me at the parking (The End GC2KQ3M). Space is limited on the
second trip so you need to contact me for those 3 seats. They are
first come first taken by contact only. Email me directly:
gr8caches @ gmail.com. I will confirm your seat back by
email.
There will be an optional, post-event bike ride along the trail
round trip or just one way. In fact if you want I will ferry you
and your bike back to the start point. I plan on taking a nice long
leisurely stroll of the 10.5 miles. If you would please indicate in
your log so I can have an idea on those wanting ferried back to the
start that wold be helpful but it is not required. I have room for
5 people (3 adults and 2 children) and 5 bikes each trip and can
make more than one trip if you don't mind waiting. If you come to
the event I hope you can join us on the trail.
