Hello fellow geocachers of Tønder, I am geocaching bicycle touring across Europe and I am coming to your city! No matter if you live here or you are just visiting, this event is for you!
My wonderful bike adventure begins on July 5th in Odense: GC70MTZ. and after visiting Esbjerg I am coming to your city, just before exiting Denmark.
GBTE website / GBTE facebook page
Three years ago when I did my first bike tour (GBTE2014) I went down the east coast of Denmark, towards Flensburg, so this time I am taking the west coast, and coming your way before crossing the border to Germany!
It is my first time in Tønder so all your caches are new to me! I would love to meet some locals and say goodbye before I go out of the country.
If you feel like giving a helping hand to a long distance cyclist, I will never say no to a hot meal, a place to sleep, camp or have a shower. Also very helpful would be if you could spread the word... maybe you have friends or family somewhere along my route? Perhaps they can offer me shelter for a night?
How about joining me for some T5 hunting, or if you have a bike, maybe we can ride together a couple of kilometers?
Feel free to contact me whatever way is more convenient for you. I am on facebook, whatsapp, instagram, you can email me or send me a message here in the geocaching messenger (I like messages because I can see them in the app)
You can use this event as a great opportunity to find out whatever you would like to know about me and my trip, so don't be afraid to ask!
So, having read all that, wanna meet?
Saturday, July 8 from 9:30 to 10:00?

GBTE (Geocaching Bicycle Touring Europe) is my big adventure for the second half of 2017. Cycling and geocaching through Denmark - Germany - Netherlands – Belgium – France – UK – Andorra – Spain – Italy – San Marino – Slovenia – Croatia – Serbia – Bulgaria and Romania. It is going to be a trip of nearly 7000 km, during almost 5 months and I am targeting a little bit over 2000 caches.
But it's not about the number, not really. I do not care about having 2000 more finds after this trip, as much as I care about the very specific caches I want to get. I planned my route according to the caches, not the other way around: starting with T5 climbing caches, virtual and webcam, old caches, those with many FP and some of the ones nominated for Geocache Of The Week. Basically, all the special ones, you know them!
Yes, I am doing all of these while riding on a fully loaded bicycle, self supported, camping and trying to find hosts on couchsurfing and warmshowers for accommodation... it's freaking AWESOME! :D
Also, because I love the social part of geocaching, I am hosting events all over along the route! I do hope to meet many local players, to chat, discover TB, and maybe, like on other occasions, find some geocachers that would join me on the T5 geo-hunts. Or maybe offer a meal or a shower, or a bed for a night? Who knows... maybe you know someone that knows someone... It's a long trip, and any bit of help is much appreciated!
I look forward to make many friends during this summer and autumn, so come meet me! There are also a few TB for you to discover: myself, my bike, my logbook, these events.... :D
