Current Goal

Le Grande Boucle is a professional bike racing bug!! Take him anywhere, but especially on a bicycle, if you can. If able, take a picture of Le Grande Boucle accompanying you on a bicycle ride. His wild dream is to see a stage of Le Tour de France! That, my friend, would be the ultimate fantasy.

About This Item

Le Grande Boucle Bug

This Bug honors the greatest bicycle race in the World, Le Tour de France. The "jerseys" attached are the Yellow Jersey (signifying the leader of the race), the Green Jersey (signifying the best sprinter in the race), and the King of the Mountains Jersey (Red Polka Dots on white, signifying the best climber in the race). Also attached is a "Livestrong" bracelet from the Lance Armstrong Foundation, representing Lance Armstrong (6 Time Winner!! Allez!!) and all cancer survivors. Life is better on two wheels. Give it a try with Le Grande Boucle!

Apprently there isn't much biking in the middle of winter. I picked Le Grande Boucle back up while I was out running through the snow. I didn't even have my GPS and it was burried under a pretty deep layer of snow. I will put this in a new cache I'm putting out this week. That should get it moving again.

This is the end of my bike trip. This cache is right on the Oak Leaf trail, a 76 mile trail which loops around Milwaukee. I'm sure Le Grande Boucle will find some new biking friends here.

This park has some excellent biking trails, but we are not quite done with our ride yet.
