Weather pending, GeoPierce, CelticWulf and myself plan on biking/caching the Minnetonka bike trail's Bikeathon series.

We hope to meet up at the trail head at 5:00 PM and go from there. I just wanted to extend an invite out to anyone who wants to get some fresh air and a find a few caches, too!

I stopped by the gas station to make sure my tires are good to go. Here's where we'll start: Bikeathon - Mill

Do you want to start at the cache site, or meet at the Kmart or Bridge St. mentioned in the cache details?

I've just set up a pocket query with the nearest 200 active caches to the one GP said we're starting at. I'm waiting for it to run right now, but as soon as I get it in Gmail if anyone else would like it, let me know and I can forward it to whatever email you like. I haven't filtered out my finds at all, so all active nearby should be fine and you'll just have to filter however you like with GSAK or another program you may use. Hope this will help if people are coming along.

Ok, it appears as if PQs are down for the time being.

I've generated a list of all nearby caches that have 'Bikeathon' in them and have uploaded it here.

I for one will be in the K-mart parking lot. See people at 5:00!

Yeah...stupid PQ hasn't run yet...and I started it before I posted that message Shocked

I used Lucid's list to get stuff to my GPSr, although I didn't put in the two KB ones that were 190 miles away Wink

So meeting at Kmart...I guess that works...now to locate the Kmart Razz

<edit> google mapped the coords for the Kmart...I guess Lucid wants us to start from the other end of the trail...that work for you GP?

Hmmm... you're right. K-mart is on the other side of the trail. Someone give me coords for the other side.

Yea, KB does have a few 'Bikeathon' caches. I was too lazy to remove them so they're in the .GPX anyway. I was hoping you wouldn't take that much of a detour to go find them in Southern MN Wink
