Late to the party but so far I've found Geohashing intriguing and a lot of fun. My home Graticule is Buffalo, NY which has been quiet for quite some time, but I'm hoping to meet more Geohashers when I'm traveling. I always wanted an excuse to get a GPS and I picked up a used one cheaply on eBay. Having the GPS has transitioned nicely into geocaching and takes the place of Geohashing when the hash doesn't land in a good spot or if I'm out hiking with the dogs.
I love to get out on my bike for long road rides but I haven't gotten out as much as I'd like these past few years. Speaking of bikes, I have to say that geohashing has really changed my rides. I am one of those guys that has no problem doing the same course over and over because I know what to expect (hills, time, etc). I have a hard time deciding on a new course especially without being familiar with the area I'm going to as I don't want to get lost. Riding to hashes is great because I have a destination to go to, directions are usually pretty easy to remember and most importantly, I get to see new things.

Stats
Achievements
Goals
- Move the Buffalo Graticule up the list of active areas into the top 50.
- Win the most active graticule for the month for the Buffalo Graticule.
- Minesweeper - Ah, the nostalgia of playing on Win 3.1
- Virgin Graticule - Might pick up one or two if I'm successful on the Minesweeper or am traveling. 2014-09-07
- The Hobbit - I love walking around bare-foot and who doesn't love a picnic. Will have to pick this one carefully though. A good opportunity could be when the hash lands in Allegany State Park.
- Border hash - shouldn't be too hard since Canada is so close.
- Issue(2014-12-20) and complete a Tail of Two Hashes Challenge. Missed a great opportunity to complete both for Allegany/Allegheny myself on 2014-09-01 and 2014-09-07.
- Reverse Regional Achievement - Buffalo Grat by county and Country.

Is it true that Pedalpusher earned the Train wreck consolation prize?
- In principle, yes.
But the car got stuck in the ditch AT the hashpoint (2015-01-24 42 -78).
