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.
The 2015 Vuelta a España TTT was a neutralised after the riders led by Chris Froome complained about the parcours being a dirt bike path. The stage happened but the times time not count towards the GC standings.
The number of palm trees along the dirt bike path is ABC
You will find a number of beautiful tile benches. The first bench the riders passed had a picture of a bridge on it. The number of vine leaves left of the bridge is D. The number of bunches of grapes in total across both sides of the bridge is E. The number of sun loungers on the beach opposite the bench is FGH.
The number of columns in front of the house on the second bench is I. The number of windows on the middle storey of the house is J. The number of chamois on the right arm of the bench as you look from the cycle path is K.
Now move to the third bench. The number of storeys in the house is L.
Now move to the fourth bench. The number of windows at the front of the house is M.
Add LJ to the Northing for stage 23.
Subtract K(M-I)(D-(ExI)) from the Westing for stage 23.
You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
This stage has been neutralised.
Sadly someone is posting the final coordinates for this series on Facebook so could I please ask that you don't share solved coordinates for this cache. I'm more than happy to help anyone who is stuck. If anyone asks you for help or coords please could you direct them to me and I will help them.
