G was in town, and we had a couple of hours to hit the trails, which are way more fun here than in Durham, North Carolina. We didn’t have time for much, but played around a little bit with some different loops, especially the downhill on the north fork of Big Trees.
Anyone who’s in town, hit us up; any excuse for a ride!
Several folks from the uni crowd came up to support me in the Kinetic Grand Championship in Humboldt County, where I unveiled the first-ever truly amphibious unicycle. I got to lead the race on the first stretch out of town square, and managed to Ace the sand section on my new 4.4″ tire.
We got to ride with Sarah this weekend, a newcomer to the Bay Area and a relative newcomer to MUni, although she’s a former national champion at urban (flatland) riding. We took her on one of our standard loops, hitting Big Trees, Chaparral, and heading down to the overlook, because, Oakland, baby. We also did some scouting for locations for the East Bay JAM, and found a great place for flatland and learn-to-uni lessons. June 16, see you there!
Nathan invited us down to Silly Valley for a birthday ride around Lexington Reservoir, with a bonus climb and descent over Montevina Road. We had total of five unicycles, all Schlumpfs, four 36ers. Everybody did the loop around Lexington (which was not full like last year, but not empty like two years ago), and then most of us went for the climb. Great day!
