On Thanksgiving I was grateful to be back on the trails with Campbell, one of my rescuers from back in July. My first real MUni ride since then, and I was glad to feel physically pretty good, and my MUnitude rose from zero to…non-zero.
Hope you all had a good holiday.
Bevan had been telling me about this trail called General Ed for a while, and I finally got a chance to join in on a ride there. We had a good crew, with Campbell, Yu, and Colin joining us on a beautiful day up in the hills. Things were still wet from recent rains but our weather was clear and cold.
Turned out I had a little time on New Year’s Eve for a ride, so I sent out a quick mail and got two responses, one from Jimbo saying he could ride until 12:30, and one from Bevan saying he could ride starting at 12:30. So for me, bonus ride!
We’ve done a lot of work with “Bike” East Bay, particularly supporting Pedalfest where we run learn-to-ride workshops and street/trials demos. And that was even before we knew that their new Executive Director, Ginger Jui was a unicyclist! We got her on a uni at this year’s event, helped her work on her free-mounting, and she was hooked. I rode around Lake Merritt with her a few weeks back, and this weekend we organized a Family MUni ride.
