Geocache Description:

I-275 Bike Trail - JMC Bicycles cache is located north of Seven Mile Road along the I-275 Bike Trail. There is parking along Seven Mile. The parking nearest is marked authorized parking only. You can also view an online trail map on Google Maps. It includes markers for official trail access points.


There are now roughly three dozen caches on the I-275 Bike Trail north of Eight Mile to the northern end. Heading south to Hines Drive there are more than a dozen caches and room for maybe two dozen more. This is one of a set of four between Eight Mile Road and Seven Mile Road to fill in that section. As with the section north of Eight Mile, I am naming them after bicycle manufacturers. This cache is named after JMC Bicycles. JMC Bicycles started as a bicycle shop in 1969. It was an original manufacturer of BMC style bicycles, starting by making bicycles that looked like motocross motorcycles.

This is intended to be a Ride & Grab cache. The cache container is a small camo painted bison tube. You will need a log extractor. Please bring your own pencil or pen.

I have found that a quick and simple log extraction tool can be made from a small paperclip. Straighten one end out. Grab just a small portion (maybe 1/32 of an inch or 1 millimeter) with a long-nose or needle-nose pliers then bend it at a right angle. I have attached one to the cache you can use. Please leave it for the next person.
