Geocache Description:

I-275 Bike Trail - Gladiator Cycle Company cache is located north of Six Mile Road along the I-275 Bike Trail. There is parking near an access path for the bike trail. You can also view an online trail map on Google Maps. It includes markers for official trail access points.


A nearby cache was archived so another space opened up on the bike trail. As it turns out, this is my 100th cache placement. This cache is named after Gladiator Cylce Company. Gladiator was a French company started in 1891. In 1896 it was bought and merged with two other bicycle companies. Eventually the product range was expanded to include tricycles, quadricycles, motorised bicycles, cars and 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.
