Current Goal


***FEATURED*** on the Podcacher.com podcast (show 225, 4th anniversary of the podcast)
To travel from cache to cache and go as far as possible. The key for the bike lock is actually in the cache. The bike should be locked to something nearby (a tree if in the woods). Please keep the key in a cache near the bike (do not separate).

About This Item

bikeTB.jpg

This TB is a full size mountain bike. Therefore, there are some logistical issues in moving it from cache to cache. See if you can figure out a solution to keep it moving. Tell us your transport story.

The 3 options that come to my mind are:
  1. Walk to the cache; ride the bike to the next cache; walk home (For those who like lots of exercise).
  2. Have your partner drive to the next cache while you ride the bike.
  3. If you have a vehicle that can handle it, transport the bike in your vehicle (back of truck, trunk/hatchback of a car, etc.). This option creates the potential for the TB traveling large distances.

Any bike maintenance that you can do is much appreciated (fill tires, repair, etc).

RIDE THE BIKE AT YOUR OWN RISK. I CAN NOT GUARANTEE YOUR SAFETY.

Skippermark, No worries.

This is not the 1st time the key was separated from the bike. I am glad you were able to work out a solution to bring them back together.

Good news! A fellow cacher contacted me and offered to drop the key back into the cache. I'll be mailing it out in the next couple days, and it should be back in the cache soon.

I have to apologize. I did something I don't normally do. I picked up the key that goes along with this TB without reading its mission first. I didn't see the note attached to it until we were out of the area. I contacted someone about it to see if I could mail the key to them to drop it into the cache.

If anyone is watching this and plans to visit the cache its in (GCA207), I'd be happy to mail it to them to get it dropped off.

I feel really bad about this and want to apologize to the owner.
