GBTE back to origins

On July 5th 2017 I was leaving Odense on my bike. After a few months cycling across Europe, 16 countries crossed, and over 1600 geocaches found, I finished on Nov 15th. Now, I am returning to where it all started... the city where I lived for the past 4 years, the city where I found my first cache, the city where I have so many friends and lovely memories, the city where both GBTE2014 and GBTE2017 started from.

I have decided that for my return, as a „GBTE after-party”, if you would like to call it that, me and my bike will visit Project GC in Malmo, then go through Odense to salute you all, and then, truly end the awesome GBTE2017 by cycling to where the bike originated from: at SICATECH A/S, near Struer.

If you haven't followed me from the start, and you weren't at my event back then, maybe you read about GBTE in the article written in November on the Geocaching Blog or in the more recent 2017 flashback. Or maybe you heard about me from other sources. Either way, if you want to meet me and see the bike you should come to this event ... it might be your last chance to see it.

This event is a great opportunity to find out whatever you would like to know about me and my trip, discover some trackables, including the GBTE2017 GeoCoins If you already ordered one before the trip, now would be the time to get it. Otherwise you can submit a request for one of the new ones, if we end up making more.

* This event is a small meet and greet, as I pass thorough the city. I will most likely make another one later, an event where we can sit and chat for longer, maybe over a warm grill? But no fully loaded bike then; it's now or never!

Feel free to contact me whatever way is more convenient for you. I am on facebook, whatsapp, instagram, you can email me or send me a message here in the geocaching messenger (I like messages because I can see them in the mobile app)

What is GBTE?

GBTE (Geocaching Bicycle Touring Europe) was my big adventure for the second half of 2017. Cycling and geocaching through Denmark - Germany - Netherlands – Belgium – France – UK – Andorra – Monaco – Spain – Italy – San Marino – Slovenia – Croatia – Serbia – Bulgaria and Romania. It was a trip of over 9000 km in total, during four and a half months.

I planned my route according to the caches, not the other way around: starting with T5 climbing caches, virtual and webcam, old caches, those with many FP and some of the ones nominated for Geocache Of The Week. Basically, all the special ones, you know them!

Also, because I love the social part of geocaching, I hosted events all over along the route! I met extraordinary people, several times locals joined me on geocache hunts after the events, or offered me accomodation or food. Yes, I had the pleasure to meet awesome people!

My tour ended in Romania, on November 15th, but the story is not yet completed! I am returning to Denmark, with a small stop in Malmo...and then END it all where the GBTE Bike originated: at my sponsor SICATECH A/S.
