Found GCA6CCW Purple door
This checkin to GCA6CCW Purple door reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. It's possible that cycling this path wasn't the wisest idea, I realised, as I dodged brambles on both sides. So focused was I on riding safely that I forgot which GPSr I'd brought with me and listening for …

Found GCADCWF Treasure island
After an appointment in Witney I opted to divert my cycle home to find this and the other cache on the same path.

Found GCAPFH3 Cherry Blossom
Third time's the charm. I don't live too far away and I'm often found cycling to, from, or through Eynsham. As a result, I've on two previous occasions come to this GZ with a view to finding this cache... and both times have been glorious summer weekend days when the adjacent café has been brim full of guests, and I've declared it "too muggley" and backed off.
Today, though, is a gloomy and overcast day, with rain on the way and a threat of thunderstorms. So as I cycled by, on my way home from the dentist, I stopped by. I quickly found and retrieved the cache, signed the log, and returned it to its spot.
Now I'd better see if I can pedal all the way home before the clouds burst! TFTC. -
Balance bikes are just better
Sean McP justifies why balance bikes are better than stabilisers (training wheels) for kids to learn to cycle, and I ponder the possibility of popping the pedals off our youngest's first bike, perhaps later this year.

Found GCAAD6C El pont sobre el riu #14 Set a La Pobla Cérvoles
I borrowed a bike from our hosts in el Vilosell so I could ride the rough hilltop trail to the bridge over the river Set, 3km away, and find a geocache.

Found GC8B4CH Is 14 Your Lucky Number Yet?
This checkin to GC8B4CH Is 14 Your Lucky Number Yet? reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Easy find while out for a ride, breaking in my new bike. Great ride, aside from the mayflies, which I must've ingested about a million of! As others have observed, the logbook has soaked …

Found GC8Q3X3 Final cache of series
This checkin to GC8Q3X3 Final cache of series reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. This one was a challenge. Finding myself on a path alongside a wooden fence, I propped my bike up against the fence to search what seemed to be the obvious candidates, but no look. I returned …

Found GC6FEXP Octocache
This checkin to GC6FEXP Octocache reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Came near here on an evening's cycle from Stanton Harcourt and, seeing that the path wasn't too muddy, decided to come and explore the woods. Lots of birdsong tonight! Was glad of the hint which saved me poking in …
