Cuyahoga Falls BikeQuest 2012

Sunday May 6, 2012

As part of the Cuyahoga Falls Bicentennial celebration, the NE Ohio Orienteering Club is organizing an urban “treasure hunt” on the streets of Cuyahoga Falls and Silver Lake. The idea is to navigate to as many of the spots marked on the map in three hours. Each map spot is worth a different amount of points. The object is to get as many points as possible in the given time. The map does not have any of the street names labeled, so keeping track of where you are at all times is important. Winners in past years have logged more than twenty miles. You don’t have to be speedy to have fun! This event should appeal to the cyclist that is also a puzzle solver.
