+Shilo Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 Res, I really like the which coin has lead and how many days...thats cool I'd funnel you a beer if I could Great job but my coins aren't moving Congrats on the upcoming wedding. Have a good time afterwards too. You'll have plenty of e-mail when you get back Quote Link to comment
+res2100 Posted May 27, 2006 Author Share Posted May 27, 2006 I'm willing to add any other interesting stats to the race page or make changes if necessary, if anyone can think of anything else. Once most late entries arrive, I'll remove the initial entry rule stuff. I haven't mentioned it yet, but we once again have a new leader in the race. "Run, Chicken, RUN!!! (2)" has taken a commanding lead. We also may have our first casualty as the cache that "SERGIO'S RACER COIN #2" was in appears to have gone missing. Quote Link to comment
+Shilo Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 (edited) Rather unfortunate but we have our first casuality from this cache. Hopefully the racing coin will turn up. edit to say Res beat me to it Edited May 27, 2006 by Shilo Quote Link to comment
Andys101 & Redfrock Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 mine has been 'grabbed' or 'discovered' by 5 different people now without being moved Quote Link to comment
ParentsofSAM Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 One of my coins just moved another 60 miles!! HOORAY! It is now a little over 100 miles logged! One of the other ones has been "Discovered" hopefully someone will come along soon and move it. GO RACERS!! Quote Link to comment
+The Moops Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 I picked up 2 coins from the race this morning. They were both in the same cache: The British are Coming! GCVZR5 I dropped Myth's World Geocoin in GCVNTF Island View I dropped Boo's PA Geocoin inGCVXR8 The Odawa They were not moved very far but at least they are visiting another cache. Good luck to both racers on your journey! Quote Link to comment
ParentsofSAM Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 Now I have 2 coins with 100 or more miles!! HOORAY! One coin was placed in a cache today picked up right after that! It is on fire! GO! GO! GO! Quote Link to comment
+WWC-World's Worst Cacher Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 One of mine still hasn't started . . . . . But the other is on it's way to another country, So watch out! Quote Link to comment
+res2100 Posted May 31, 2006 Author Share Posted May 31, 2006 One of mine still hasn't started . . . . . But the other is on it's way to another country, So watch out! I have your coin in my caching bag. It will start the race in Quebec next week. So it will have the distinction of being the only coin in the race to start outside of Ontario. Quote Link to comment
Andys101 & Redfrock Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 7 people have now grabbed or discovered my coin and are posting it between each other! Why???? This has been going on for 10 days! So it has done next to no mileage and visited only 2 caches! Don't think this coin is going to get very far! Quote Link to comment

Did you send them an email explaining that this coin is not a keeper and to please release it? Same here. One of my coins has been discovered a lot recently. If only there was a prize for it... A few days ago, I've sent them a mail, asking to move the coin. But no reply, yet. Edited May 31, 2006 by Myth Quote Link to comment
+Shilo Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 I'm 39 th & tied for 91st . Cant get the cacher to place my last place coin even after sending a nice e-mail Maybe both my coins will be fast finishers Quote Link to comment
+islander1988 Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 My coin got off to a fast start. Then it got dropped in a cache that's only had 4 visitors so far this year. No one has been to it since the cachers who dropped my racer. Maybe I should have made more than 1 entry. Quote Link to comment
+res2100 Posted May 31, 2006 Author Share Posted May 31, 2006 Maybe I should have made more than 1 entry. Still not too late to enter...Someone just entered 3 more coins the other day. I haven't given a cut off point yet as to when new entries won't be allowed, and not really sure if I see a need to...of course late entries may have a slight disadvantage, but only initially. Latest standings are posted...only 3 coins don't have the updated mileage reflected on the race page at the moment, because the coin pages aren't up to date yet. Quote Link to comment
+ozymandiasism Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 I am going to enter the contest soon, but I want to enter my own coins which won't be ready till July oh well... better late than never! btw, how exactly do the race coins go into caches? Does the organizer hide them in a specific cache? Quote Link to comment

Does the organizer hide them in a specific cache? Almost all the coins started out at the 2nd Annual COG Spring Fling event cache on Saturday May 13th. Any subsequent Toronto geocoins entered into the race, also start off from that event, since the coins were in fact there. Any other late entries start out by whatever cache I decide to put them in the next time I am out geocaching, or if I hand them off to someone else to start their journey. Quote Link to comment

+Shilo Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 another question. can you put how many caches a coin has seen on the forum? i hope i is not to much work. timo uh, yes it is I didn't keep the e-mails so I can't go back and do it. RES will have them all when he comes back on the 12th. I just took up the mileage side of it because most people keep up with that side of it and it was easier without having the database file that res has. Sorry but you'll just have to wait for res to update it when he gets back or you can go look at every geocoin in the race ...off to work now Quote Link to comment
