rockville hills park

A mountain unicyclist rides on a rocky trail in the sun. The hill drops away behind him, revealing a valley and hills in the distance. He is approaching an area with many chunky rocks, shaded by oak trees.

Rocks

I’ve been doing a ton of riding, but it’s been over 6 months since I’ve been out on a proper MUni ride. Adrian was in town and suggested Rockville. Don’t have to ask me twice. It was beautiful out there, and while my MUnitude was about 2/10, I managed to make the line on the back side of Upper Tilly, which was good enough, considering. Adrian was rocking everything of course.

Rockin’ the Gala Ride

BTCEB had their annual Gala Ride at Rockville, and a crew of us went up to show the colors. It was a gorgeous day, and BTCEB had probably 70 riders, but as usual, we didn’t actually see that many mountain bikers on the trails, because they don’t like the same kind of trails we do.

I was wearing my California MUni Weekend t-shirt from 2003, which was probably the first time I’d ridden Rockville. And in all that time I’d never taken a serious injury on the uni. It was a good roll, but my luck ran out.

On a chilly Sunday morning, Josh suggested we head up to Rockville Hills Park. For future reference, the fact that it’s hotter there in the summer doesn’t mean it’s hotter in the winter. We saw a lot of frost and some trail sections which were well frozen, even in the afternoon. Of course, it’s impossible
