After initial testing the Velo-Opener prototype 1 was found to be a complete failure.
After further testing, and a bit of pure silliness, it was discovered you simply need to tip the bike to about 45 degrees and then it works great. (stupid designer, totally wrong angle)
So after the rigorous testing the Opener was stashed.
So stashed: One good beer, and one 'novelty' bottle opener.

WE HAVE ARRIVED
Well, it has happened. velocache.net is now a fully operational battle station. Prepare yourselves.
Before I digress, which I am known to do, let me start off by giving some credit and handing out some thanks. This would not have happened without you all. You know who you are. Thank you. The new site would not be in existance without Buttars, if you run into him, give him a hug and buy him a beer. HUGE thank yous to the veterans out there who have kept this afloat in times of trouble and triumph...I have personal things to say to you that will have to wait until we have a face to face.
At the pokercache party on September 19 I would really like to take a bit of all of your time and preach a little about "the game". We'll see, I will probably just get drunk and cry a lot.
SO. Go to the site. Familiarize yourself. It is different than the one we play on now but can do all of the things we do now AND MUCH MUCH MORE. You will need to create an account. It is free and always will be for players. I realize some of you have already been in and have looked around but it is time for everyone to come on board. Texting from a phone to the site works. E-mailing too. There is a great forum feature that we can all cache ourselves in as well. This site is still in beta. It is not finished so now is the time to see if we can break it.
For now, play around. Posting "real" caches is not off limits but I think it might serve us better to get really comfortable with the new toy before we go "live". Post pictures of your cats and dogs. Go to the forum and talk about bikes. Have fun.
LOVE to you all. -A. Mortician

As I rode my bike home from work today right past this spot, thinking to myself “where would be a good place to hide my cache”….i had no idea one was staring at me at that moment….got home, took a nap, logged on, jumped on the old western flyer and boogied down to the spot I had past only 2 hours prior…rolled around on the ground….even looked in the trash….but alas, I had to ride back home thirsty. :-(
