Peachleaf's geocoin may still make it back from Germany in time to make it to the finishing event cache, having just been placed into this cache, 146.2 miles closer to The Finishing Line.

Another example of no sooner do I update than...
...another move is made! In this case, just a short move of 2.8 miles for The-Black-Angel's Definitive GeoCoin which ANDY&EVE placed into this Northumberland multi.

Just over two weeks to go...
With only 16 days to go until the Event Cache finale of the 2009 / 2010 EmCache Travel Bug Race, here are some updated moves;
Australian cacher deaning placed Garland Gang's JACKO TB into his own Towering Heights cache, from where it was collected by cacher GR8T who subsequently placed JACKO into this Australian cache. These moves have added 100.5 miles to JACKO's distance travelled.
Cachers DragonsWest have dropped greedygreenfrog's Greedy Green Frog into this Californian cache, adding 136.6 miles. Check out this evocative photo.
JohnnyBGoode's You want fries with that? TB was retrieved from the New Hampshire cache that it was resting in by cacher cknh who passed it on to more active cacher Hillgrove.
ITCHYthirdEYE has retrieved his own SPANK, the Monkey TB from Not for the Faint Hearted and then dipped SPANK into his own Itchys' Alternatives - Bargain Bucket, adding 8.7 miles to it's distance travelled.
UK89camaro has retrieved his Piston head Pete (and Dave!) Travel Bug from last month's EmCache Event Cache and logged him into the EmCache 2nd Birthday Event, i.e. The Finishing Line, adding 6.4 miles to make a total distance travelled of 2673.6 miles, 18 caches visited in 6 UK counties and 2 overseas countries, whilst in the hands of 13 cachers, excluding Discovereds.
Cacher Miniature Hero has placed RascalGaskells' Cachehopper TB into this cache, published 2 days ago, but so-far unfound, adding 9.3 miles to it's distance travelled.
German cacher Blauber has placed Lucky Lottie's Holiday Bug into this German cache, adding 450.4 miles to it's distance travelled.
Good news for oceanblue07970's Pat's Special Delivery Travel Bug at last, as he has been picked up by French cacher buckfast who has dipped Pat into this French cache, not only adding 604.7 miles to Pat's distance travelled, but also adding the much-coveted Overseas Travel asterisk. Now, can Pat get back to the UK in the next 16 days?! BTW, is anyone besides myself amused by the fact that a Frenchman would name himself after notorious Devon tonic wine, tipple of choice for Scots teenagers?
Finally, Garland Gang's LOUIS' VROOM VROOM!! TB has been retrieved from Bream Dream by cacher Pieman.

The Finishing Post has been erected!
EmCache's 2nd Birthday Event Cache has been published. This Event, on October 19th, is the finishing line for the 2009 / 2010 EmCache Travel Bug Race. To be classed as a finisher in The Race an entry must be present at the Event Cache.
Due to this, after a suggestion from uk89camaro, I have listed above the current race positions, based on distance travelled, the entries that have so far been logged into the Event, and can therefore be considered to be "In The Clubhouse".

Update! Making sense of it all (or: Why don't cachers log trackables correctly!!??)
Quite a few moves to catch up on, and I don't have all the information that I need, but as it's getting close to the end of the race, I've decided to try to put together a chronology for a couple of entries as best as I could;
Firstly; Good news for ITCHYthirdEYE, whose SPANK, the Monkey was apparently retrieved from Ellisha Says Geocoins Only by mr. meagi, who hasn't logged a find since May. I've emailed to ask him about SPANK, but have not yet received a reply. SPANK next turned up in one of mr. meagi's caches, from where it was collected by cacher Mangled99, who placed him in a cache at a busy railway station. So busy, in fact, that SPANK was collected the very same day by East Midlands cacher arewethereyet??. The result of all this is the additional of 30.8 miles to it's distance travelled.
Another entry in the 2009/2010 EmCache Travel Bug Race to miraculously transport itself from one cache to another is lgxkls' Karon's Promise Travel Bug, which turned up in this Welsh cache, 119.3 miles from where it should be in West Yorkshire! Karon's Promise has since been retrieved by Gloucestershire cachers Bredon Marshions. If any previously unrecorded moves turn up, additional milage can be inserted.
Much simpler is that peachleaf's GeoCoin was retrieved from the cache that it was resting in by ice-skating cacher skaterli, who placed into this puzzle cache, adding 326 miles to it's distance travelled. It has since been retrieved by Munich-based cachers MuenchnerKindl.
Garland Gang's LOUIS' VROOM VROOM!! continues it's gentle meander around Northwich by visiting this cache, barely a mile-and-a-half from where it retrieved from a week previously by stavvy.
American cacher f1shheadjr is now fishheadjr, and has placed Johnny B. Goode's You want fries with that? TB into this cache in New Hampshire, adding 115.5 miles to it's distance. Johnny's Travel Bug has now visited 6 different U.S. states.
Finally, cachers DragonsWest have gone on a mini dipping frenzy with greedygreenfrog's Greedy Green Frog Adventure Guide, visiting an Earthcache, a CITO, a virtual cache and an event cache, adding a total of 146.8 miles to the little green fellow's milage.

Update! Pat gets a GUIDING LIGHT
oceanblue07970's Pat's Special Delivery Travel Bug has been placed into this Buckinghamshire cache, adding 33.4 miles to it's race distance, and, in other news, Garland Gang's JACKO TB has been retrieved from The Godfather by cacher deaning, who hasn't logged a find for 5½ years!
