Departures and returns

Unicyclists are shuffling in and out of the Bay. Sarah headed out on a multi-month walkabout, which means the flatland scene around here will be less well-organized for a while. But Campbell is back from Weehawken, New Jersey, where he’d moved for some reason. We had a good chill ride up in Joaquin MIller.

Tornado warning

Adrian was in town, and suggested a ride in Joaquin Miller given the wet weather around the Bay. Sunday morning was quite pleasant, but the week’s storms had left fallen limbs and other litter all over. Made for some interesting riding on the park’s ever-changing trails. A lot of slippage on wet roots, although surprisingly there wasn’t much mud.

Owen’s return

Our friend Owen has moved back to the Bay, and called a MUni ride for Berkeley this weekend. We had beautiful MUni weather as our mixed-skills group climbed and descended the canyon.

Breaking them in

We’re still prepping for California MUni Weekend next month, so we had another ride out in Joaquin Miller. Ricardo’s still hoping to clean Chaparral on his 29er, but frankly it looks like it’ll take some trail rebuilding, because Chappy’s gotten chunkier and chunkier.
