We’ve not had a weekend at Dalby since 2022 so feels overdue to get back on it!
2nd-4th October
The usual 2.5 days of Muni riding across the weekend. Dalby is a cross country park with loads of lovely red route single track to follow as well as optional black features for those who feel brave and plenty of options of blue and forestry fire road. As always we will tailor the routes and riding to the group and make sure everyone has a good time.
A lot of us will do family dinner and pool our ingredients then figure out dinners to feed everyone who wants in. There is always a veggie one and often several things to choose from depending on the size of the group. Bring some ingredients to contribute and muddle in if you fancy or just do your own thing.

CAMPSITE -
Dalby Forest Campsite
https://dalby-forest.co.uk/
Sadly the cheaper site are taking a holiday so our options are limited but this one is right by the front entrance of the forest so we can ride in and not pay the parking fees every day. (they also have an on-site milkshake machine if that does it for you)
WHAT YOU WILL NEED
*Mountain unicycles- 24”or larger, suitable for riding on trails
*Helmet/pads
*Backpack with water, tools, rain jacket etc
*Camping gear (if you are planning to camp with us)
*Food (bring something to contribute to communal dinners or bring your own meals, however you wish)
*Packed lunch and snacks for the trail
*Good vibes- we welcome everyone to come ride with us regardless of gender, sexuality, race, religion or age. If you have hate: leave it at home.
***For the avoidance of doubt this is not an event per se, there is no fee to pay, no t-shirt and you are ultimately responsible for your own safety. We are going to lead these rides in an inclusive friendly manner and you are welcome to join but it is up to you to judge what is within your ability to ride. We look out for each other and keep together as a group but you are responsible for yourself, your belongings and your wellbeing. ***
