[[User:Talex|Talex]]: Super easy one for me. Checked the coordinates during the night, close to home and only requiring a modest detour on my usual commute. Left home while others in our geohashing chat group were planning their trip. I rode up, hoping that I could reach the hash from memory. I couldn't and was 40 meters off. Zipped up to the correct location, took appropriate photos and evidence. Decided to leave some XKCD sticks behind, but I was rushing and used small hard to see sticks. Jumped back on my bike and headed on to work. Enjoyed taking the detour, there's some nice wetlands up this way and was good to ride a slightly different route to normal.

[[User:EdBordin|EdBordin]]: I was the third expedition for the day (that we know of). I went to work without checking the hash so I went on an impromptu solo adventure after work. After a quick detour via Don Tojo for dinner, I rode up the very bike-friendly Canning St and St George's Rd before cutting through slightly less friendly roads in Preston to join onto the Darebin creek trail. From there it was just a short ride through the greenery to reach the hash. Nearly left without locating Talex's xkcd sticks but after some prompting I found they'd survived until the end of the day! On the way home I took a more scenic route along a little more of the Darebin Creek rather than backtracking through Preston. Strava summary: 31.75km, 1:38:27 moving time (probably including wandering to the hash). A nice little ride!

Talex: Super easy one for me. Checked the coordinates during the night, close to home and only requiring a modest detour on my usual commute. Left home while others in our geohashing chat group were planning their trip. I rode up, hoping that I could reach the hash from memory. I couldn't and was 40 meters off. Zipped up to the correct location, took appropriate photos and evidence. Decided to leave some XKCD sticks behind, but I was rushing and used small hard to see sticks. Jumped back on my bike and headed on to work. Enjoyed taking the detour, there's some nice wetlands up this way and was good to ride a slightly different route to normal.

EdBordin: I was the third expedition for the day (that we know of). I went to work without checking the hash so I went on an impromptu solo adventure after work. After a quick detour via Don Tojo for dinner, I rode up the very bike-friendly Canning St and St George's Rd before cutting through slightly less friendly roads in Preston to join onto the Darebin creek trail. From there it was just a short ride through the greenery to reach the hash. Nearly left without locating Talex's xkcd sticks but after some prompting I found they'd survived until the end of the day! On the way home I took a more scenic route along a little more of the Darebin Creek rather than backtracking through Preston. Strava summary: 31.75km, 1:38:27 moving time (probably including wandering to the hash). A nice little ride!
