Geocache Description:

A small camoed pot. BYOP.


This is a series of puzzle caches based upon the UCI World Tour. Each puzzle builds on the next and they will get increasingly more challenging as you progress through the series. The puzzles will lead to a trail of caches along official cycle routes and therefore are best done by bike. The caches are small and will not contain swaps but could cope with a small TB or geocoin.

During the 2015 world road racing championships the riders repeatedly cycled between two monuments with statues of men on horseback. On the short stretch of road between the statues there is a road sign with a bike on it. The number above the bike is A. There are B steps up to the statue of the rider without the hat. The number of lights on the grass around this statue is C. The number of letters in the surname of the hatless rider is D. The other rider has two ranks and three initials before his surname. The middle initial is E.

Subtract (A+B+C-D)(E-D) from the Northing for stage 20.

Subtract (D+E)D from the Westing for stage 20.
