6th one along this path on a rainy morning. And the last for today.

Had a gentle pick at the red herrings close by before realising neither were the cache. Went a little farther and found the real cache a little less in plain sight.

TFTC!

Staying nearby and decided to walk this series. Quite a long way and some uphill. We enjoyed the ambience along the way and the variety of hides kept us challenged and entertained. Thanks Oddiewan fav point alloc

Just trying to finish this series off. Sunday afternoon caching adventures, this was the first of the afternoon. The cache was soon in hand.
 
22-Jan-22
I have had this series on my to do list since it was published and today was the perfect day for a bike ride. I read the hint and then took a minute to think, oh i think i know what to look for and that i did. What a great cache. Thanks for placing this series here for us to enjoy. Giving this one a FP for all the fun
 
11-Jan-22
Today I decided to head out on 2 wheels and grab some caches. This cache was my first stop for the day. While following the gps I spotted the hide, it has been a long while since I have found one of these hides. Tftc Oddiewan

Joined an enthusiastic group of cyclists to make the run through the trails here, stopping every so often to take a wander into the bush or ponder a structure. A great variety of hides, some tricky, some straightforward. Thankful that many eyes made short work of the hunting in most instances and that the rain kindly stayed away. All up we rode 30km today, signing logs RRG to save space. TFTC Oddiewan
 
28-Dec-21
I put my hand up when the call was made as to who would be up for a bike ride around this part of the Redlands.
We all headed out today and found quite a few caches.
Some easy, some hard but all thoroughly enjoyable.
Logs all signed RRG for our group of cyclists.

I ride Scribbly Gums usually every second month so I have been cruising ride past a few of these caches on a couple of occasions. With the New Year fast approaching I decided to test the water on whether a few like minded geocyclists would like to complete the trail.

Now the weather was not looking good but as the ride leader i was duty bound to turn up. Right on cue at the designated start time the rain cleared and a group of many set off to clear the Cycling trail to Redlands.

We set off from Scribbly Gums heading East and then back West to collect caches. After the final western Cycle trail cache four of us pushed on to seek additional caches.

ruzzelz raining (not) ride group all had a great morning on 2 wheels including a diversion to Alex Hill shops for a group session at the coffee shop.

This morning, I joined Ruzzelz' Reindeer/Ride Group (RRG) with a morning of finding the *Cycling the Redlands* geocaches series. The rain had magically disappeared from the start of our ride, and it was an enjoyable group session. I then managed to target a few older geocaches in the area before heading home.
In the afternoon, jesswrigley and I headed out and took a walk along Enoggera Creek in The Gap, finding a few of the *On Your Bike* series from #11 to #6. Again, the rain stayed away long enough to have a decent walk along this stretch whilst passing by many muggles similarly enjoying the afternoon.

Ruzzelz' Reindeer/Ride Group (RRG) consisted of bedmakerTG, DisSister, eatmorchikin, JQTB, La Kedi, nikid1, TaxisVW and DrPam, and teamdfl, as well as our esteemed leader Ruzzelz. Meeting at Scribbly Gums, we rode to the eastern end of the trail, with the plan to ride west and collect the caches in the series. We took a coffee break in the middle of the series at the nearby Alexandra Hills Shopping Centre, as well as a few miscellaneous geocaches that we encountered along the way. In total, we rode an approximate distance of 20 km.

We stopped off at this geocache, and it wasn't too long until we managed to make the cache find reasonably quickly. Nice camouflage around the cache. The cache container and logbook were in good shape, and we signed as *RRG* / *RR* to preserve space in the logbook. Thanks Oddiewan for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

To finish off the year, a group of about 15ish of us got together to cycle this great little bike trail, despite heavy rain trying to discourage us right up until the minute we left! Fortunately, it stopped raining long enough for us to complete our 30km exploration of the area, with many finds along the way. As always, we got to catch up with old friends and make new ones, though cycling in such a group made chatting a bit of a challenge, though social distancing easy. TFTC, Oddiewan. =^.^=
 
28-Dec-21
A call was put out on Facebook to join up for a bike ride and do this series. Still with a few days of rec leave left I couldn’t refuse. There were familiar faces and a few new ones which is one of the reasons I like these type of events as you can never know too many cachers.
In all we did 20km of riding (we did have to detour off the track for a coffee break)
Logs signed as RRG to save on log space.
TFTC Oddiewan for putting out this series.
 
28-Dec-21
Found with a large group of crazy pedalers today. Logs all signed RRG for the group. I don't think I actually found any of the caches myself. I was close at a few, and added our team log to some. Many I did not get near as the group often made for quick finding.

Thanks for the series and the effort to put out so many caches.

Found today with RR (Ruzzelz Rainers)

Out today trying to boost my numbers as I rapidly approach a milestone cache… so with that in mind, this trail was too god to pass by…

I had a really good idea what I was looking for, it just took way longer to find it than it should have… but I got there in the end…

Thanks Oddiewan for the effort that has gone into this trail… and the descriptions are so informative… So many brands… tftc…

Out on a bike ride this morning with chamad tackling the new bike series, along with a couple of others along the way.
A great variety of hides in the series, some very clever ideas among them, this was one of them, an FP from me.
Thanks Oddiewan for the great series.

A morning of caching with willis007 and a day for a leisurely Sunday bike ride. A ride from Capalaba to Cleveland enjoying the recent trail of caches on the bikeway. A nice variety of caches, some very tricky hides and some not so hard. It was a fun morning and by the end of the trail, we were done. We were planning on another ride further afield, but we were feeling a little lethargic from the heat and the humidity and called it a day. We still managed to grab a couple of the older caches in the area on our around and towards home. We were happy with our haul today, we got to take it easy and enjoy the caches and the surrounds.

This was the next in the run of caches along this trail. A nice change in caches here, still having seen this type before we had an idea as to what to look for. My reflection in the mirror was a little shattered. Thanks for the hide and with the log signed and cache replaced as found, it was onto the next one.

I had to beat the on coming rain band. Loved the hint. Never seen a cache like this one before. Quick find. Stamped. Then the rain started.

We came back for another look. Played on the playground for a bit. And then we extended our GZ search area; we had fun. TFTC

Nice ride on my EBike
Thank you ?????
 
28-Oct-21
Not cycling but certainly getting some decent bipedal exercise today!

Parked the Geo-Beast & zeroed in on GZ for a quick grab.
Just before a muggle walker strolled past with a quick sideways glance.
Nothing to see here sir, just checking on a report of an injured Koala in the area.
Nice quick find.
Made our mark & replaced as found.

Today I am back for a second bite at the series. I started at the West end of the series and found that I could park close to most of the ones today.

No problem locating this one. Log is a bit damp.

Quick easy find great clue

The day these were published I was undergoing surgery and my first thought was 'no ftf's for me.'
Roll on to today. I was shopping nearby and decided to have a look for this one on my way home.
Turns out I parked really close and actually saw cache but discounted it on first pass.
Loved it. Signed log and carefully replaced as found.

A sneaky and lovely find here at GZ. Someone was standing at the bus stop not too far away, however they were oblivious to our activities. Once spotted we knew that was definitely what we should be looking for.
Log signed. Never had a “Scott” cycle in our lives!
Thanks Oddiewan

After work I thought that I might tackle a couple of caches in the 1 klm radius from me. This was a clever cache and didn't take long to find it. Log signed before replacing exactly as found. TFTC

First one for the ride, quick find.
Thank you for hiding this geocache Oddiewan

Very clever little cache this one. We actually spotted it from little way off but didn't realise it was a cache till we looked much closer.

Thanks for placing the cache oddiewan.

*FTF*

I noticed these new caches yesterday afternoon and assumed they’d be found before now. But when I woke up and saw that they hadn’t been found, I decided to head over for a bike ride before work.

I headed for one target but when I turned back I spotted it. Thanks for the cache

Left home early to cycle the new Redlands trail, found most without too much trouble.

Find #11947 @ 09:08
Thanks Oddiewan for giving us a reason to visit.
