New Muni Riders

Went out for my first real Muni ride today. I've been puttering around school fields, but this was out beside a river. Great day.

Anyway, I thought for those of us getting into Muni tips might be helpful.

Todays tip from me: Don't grab the Hawthorn Tree when you are about to fall... just fall.

I suspect this applies to a Cactus too.

Don't let your uni punch you in the junk!

I went on a 7 mile "out and back" on the Jones Creek trail in the Wilson River trail system yesterday.... here's what happened.

I was rolling through a very rocky/rooty part of the semi-technical single track when I rolled up onto a fairly big rock..... my 3.8 Larry tire compressed under my weight and the rock.... then my feet slipped off the pedal and my uni rocketed into my junk!

It was such a comedy of errors..... I wanted to laugh but...well.... couldn't

There it is kids.... "stay away from drugs" and don't let your uni punch you in the "mommy daddy button"

I was in Joshua Tree National Park today and I can vouch!

Unfortunately this was without a unicycle...

Oh, man! I went climbing at Joshua Tree a few years ago and had the worst luck with the cacti..... every time I bent over to pick something up, I would impale myself on one

It would seem that most of North America has something prickly that we shouldn't grab on to.
