By kiwinutter on 16-Feb-24. Waypoint GCAKPBV

I had some time today before going to my AirBnB, so I made a dent in the long string of caches starting at the end and working downwards. TFTC.

A nice quick find. I got my bike off the back of the car and went for a wee ride! Thanks for placing your cache. Ms_KR and I are off on a cruise around the south of the South. Great to be away. The day was fine, and sunny with stunning views of the snow capped mountains.Occassionally signed MK+KR on cache logs, and apologies for the generic logs.Thanks to all CO's for publishing and maintaining their caches.

Another quick find here as we cycle along the trailThanks for the placement and the smiley

On the trail with kiscardi getting some caches. She spotted the cache. Yeah. Thanks

Hal2929 hatched a plan to visit Five Rivers today to pick up the caches on the trail previously not yet placed last time I was here., So loaded up our bikes, some hydration, food and charged up phones and batteries .Off we went. Thanks to kiwinutter for all the work with placing and maintaining the caches. Good day out in Southland with pretty good weather. All the caches were pretty quick to find. and also in perfect condition.

COSMIC QUEST CACHE ATTACK What better to quench the caching thirst and fuel alien rockets than attacking a power trailThankyou Kiwinutter for going to the effort of putting this 54 cache trail out, we salute you All caches have been signed with the team name WTC (Wombats_4, TDronsfield and MrandMrsChosen1978) a lot of teamwork went into smashing through this mammoth task today With a final score of 52 out of 54 (2 DNF) And a very responsive CO replacing/checking on the caches as we went through Im sure we will all go back at some point to claim those final 2 smiles T4TC

Seemed like a good day to focus on the cycle trail. We (Wombat-TDron-Chosen, signed as WTC) proceeded to the caches, and had a great afternoon under a blue sky interspersed with clouds - basically what one wants on a long walk. Good to have a variety of containers and various terrains for the hides (a couple of caches received favorites for the group). Was good to meet CO cycling today. TFTC

Really pleased that all the caches on this trail had the coords spot on making it much easier to grab them as time was an essence today! The following is a copy and paste sorry. Remarks at the end of the log if needed Thankyou Kiwinutter for going to the effort of putting this 54 cache trail out, we salute you All caches have been signed with the team name WTC (Wombats_4, TDronsfield and MrandMrsChosen1978) a lot of teamwork went into smashing through this mammoth task todayWith a final score of 52 out of 54 (2 DNF) tftc

TFTC. On our bikes on a misty raining day.

Enjoyed doing the bike ride and enjoying the caches in the fog and sun. Wasn't a very warm day. Needed the bike exercise

A bit further on and another findThankserninz

Great day for a trip south, caching on the bike, nice warm day on the trail Many Thanks. - Bitsprayer

Another quickly ticked off here.

Found on a great day geocaching along Round the Mountains Cycle trail from Lumsden to Five rivers. We had success in finding all of the 54 caches in the Bike Track series. some were quick find others a bit more challenging and the mini bison tubes we found difficult to extract the log. All good. A great series thanks to the CO for placing this power trail, TFTC
