Welcome to the
GATLEY BIKE FEST
Bike Treasure Hunt
This bike treasure hunt is simplicity itself. Most of the course is off-road so it’s a
great way for families to have fun together
Simply follow the route notes and use the written and picture clues to locate a letter
on a series of road signs, shop signs and so on and make a note of each letter as you
find it.
We’ve also thrown in a number of other interesting things to find along the way,
just for fun.
As you collect the letters, (there are 12 in total) make a note of them here:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
10.
11.
12.
When you’ve collected all the letters, simply re-arrange them to spell out a famous
cycling event.
Please email your answer, together with your name and a contact phone
number to [email protected] or drop it into Bike Haus, to be in with a
chance of winning a great prize.
Good luck and happy hunting
