I found this cache today on my tour of Heathmont, Croydon and Ringwood. I had parked near this one but a group of three ladies walking slowly towards the cache meant that I walked quickliy to the south to pick up that one first, then back to here afterwards.

Out today to sign off this series, but may not qualify just yet

Back to our original first target, thankfully the muggle was gone and we were able to search safely. A likely looking target wasn't it, and G' found it at another likely one

Out getting some fresh air and sunshine with +Wife and EveTheStaffy. It is a lovely afternoon for a stroll along this rail trail.After dodging the occasional muggle, our names were entered into the log book.Thank you for placing and maintaining caches for our enjoyment.---[n0w0rries](https://www.geocaching.com/profile/?u=n0w0rries) has used [Project-GC](https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GCAVMN0/93570 "Project-GC Challenge Checker") to see if they qualified for this challenge and they did.User has 54 finds (30 needed) Filters:(attributeFilter(Bicycles) , county (1=Maroondah) , country (1=Australia) )

After an appointment in Ringwood, I headed down the trail on the bike to find these challenge caches. I wasn't sure I'd qualify for all of them, but pleasingly I do. This was a particularly appropriate cache for my bike caching outing. I had just pulled up to search for this cache when I was hailed by a pedestrian approaching. I looked up to discover it was skylizard, searching out the same caches as I was, but in the opposite direction. After a good chat, I spotted the container in its good hiding spot. All in good dry condition. TFTC [iTEEM] has used [Project-GC] to see if they qualified for this challenge and they did.

Thanks for the challenge QueenK8.. pretty sure I have achieved this one. Will check later.

Out and about with Tiz13 for another caching adventure, my other caching partner had already done most of the caches on our list as he chased the FTF'sThis is one of the caches found today.

Today, I hit the Geo Road with Rebel Acts on a mission to clear his map of the new caches that have been placed recently. This was one of those caches. Tiz13 loves her challenge caches but she doesn't particularly like suburban caching so she is only part way to qualifying for this challenge...I shall get there one day.

Took a pleasant walk along this trail and signed the logs. Need to check my eligibility to log.

Second find for a bike ride home after watching my daughters play netball. A quick one here with nobody about.

Omegaman1971Support Your Local VillainLive - Laugh - LurkFirst To Find: 200Sidetracked Cache Finds: 141Managed to snag FIVE (FTF ) s this morning before workpretty chuffed about that! It was a solid mix of urban hides, Had a bit of a challenge, thoughlost my glasses somewhere between the second and third caches, so lets just say a few logs might look a bit creative. Squinting through the last few finds definitely added a layer of adventure.Please let me know if you find them.Big thanks to the COs for setting these up. Will come back to check out the details I missed once I find my specs!Omegaman1971 fulfils challenge Ringwood Ramble - Challenge - Maroondah 30 Bikes (GCAVMN0), according to https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GCAVMN0/93570

I saw the new Ringwood Ramble challenge series pop up this morning, but I was just about out the door for school drop-off, then rushed back home for a meeting. By the time I checked again, OM71 (his log name when squinting after losing his glasses ) had swooped in and collected all five.So, tonight, needing a walk after work, I headed out to gather these up, while keeping an eye out for spectacles. First cachenothing. Second cacheno sign of OM71's rogue glasses, just some curious magpies eyeing me up. Cache #3? A nice hide, but still no sign of those elusive lenses.Cache #4 was tucked away well, so I had to get creative... wonder if OM71 hid his glasses here too, just to add some mystery? Finally, at Cache #5, just as the sun was setting, I could swear I saw a glint in the bushes? OM71's glasses? Nope, just a shiny wrapper, left behind from who-knows-what.Alas, no spectacles found, but I did have a very pleasant walk in the rain.[Raphbrad](https://www.geocaching.com/profile/?u=Raphbrad) has used [Project-GC](https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GCAVMN0/93570 "Project-GC Challenge Checker") to see if they qualified for this challenge and they did.User has 62 finds (30 needed) Filters:(attributeFilter(Bicycles) , county (1=Maroondah) , country (1=Australia) )

I finished work today and had no commitments so decided to head to Ringwood to look for some caches. Of course just as I reversed out of the driveway the rain started but nothing the umbrella didn't fix for the first 5 caches anyway. After that the wind died down and the rain pretty much stopped which was much more pleasant.I parked in the nearest side street to this one to start the walk up and back for these new challenges.Nice quick find here while trying to stop the umbrella blowing away.[spiffy-](https://www.geocaching.com/profile/?u=spiffy-) has used [Project-GC](https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GCAVMN0/93570 "Project-GC Challenge Checker") to see if they qualified for this challenge and they did.User has 118 finds (30 needed) Filters:(attributeFilter(Bicycles) , county (1=Maroondah) , country (1=Australia) )Thanks QueenK8 for the cache, the adventure, the hunt and the fun.
