California Mountain Unicycle Weekend - 2007 - Santa Cruz

I would love for CMW 08 to be in SB, thats less than an hour from me!!

then i could actually go!!! :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

Sorry for threadjacking but seems like it’s the trend…

First, Nathan I can’t wait for the Disc Golf tournament! Should be a blast. See you there!

Second, as for next year’s CMW I would vote for either Santa Barbara or the LA area (Simi Valley and/or all the other sweet places to ride out here). I’d be more than willing to help out with organizing but as I’ve never really hosted an event, I would of course need help and guidance. I’m sure we’ll probably talk about it during our rides and such up in Santa Cruz. See ya’ll there in a few days!

Muni weekend is this weekend! If you haven’t sent in your forms, it is really too late to do so, so bring them along with you (and email me to let me know you are coming: cd AT bluetreesoft DOT com).

There was some rain last night, and it is forecast to rain a little bit Friday morning, but I’m hoping the weekend will be clear. Please come prepared!

Corbin,

As for my ā€œregisteringā€ Friday, I guess it would be more accurate to say ā€œcheck-inā€ since my forms were sent in weeks ago. So don’t worry about an additional show-up person…I should already be in your plans. Sure hope so anyway!

See ya Friday!

Jerry

PS – Is there a list posted anywhere of who all is coming this year?

Sorry everyone, I have to scratch. PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: Are your shoelaces under control? In these days of lots of Cokering, a shoelace wrapped around your pedal is a lot worse than it was in the past. Though the heavier wheel will hopefully break it before you get flung to the ground, this is not always the case.

I was riding back from my class yesterday, trying out my fresh setup with 150mm cranks for MUni Weekend and lowered seat, when it happened. I think my shoe must’ve come untied, and it wrapped up, and I was flung to the pavement. Fractured clavicle (collar bone) Ouch! My first-ever broken bone. I’ve been riding unicycles almost 28 years now too. Damn.

Have a great MUni Weekend everybody, and take lots of pictures! I’ll be thinking of you this weekend… and don’t forget to talk about where it can be done next year…

Ohhh John, man, I feel your pain. :frowning:
No, not the physical pain, but the emotional pain of missing out. Dude, your a fixture for CMW. I wish you a speedy recovery. Take care.

Damn that sucks! The upside is you’ll be ok and heal, unfortunately not by Friday!:frowning: I’ll be double checking my laces from here on!

Sorry to be picky, but one webpage lists 1:00pm and another page lists 2:00pm for the start of Friday’s muni ride. Which is it? I could show up at the early time I suppose, but I’d rather not stand around waiting if the ride’s not really until 2.

Thanks for pointing that out Jerry. I’m waiting to hear back from Corbin on that and I’ll post the corrected time. I would assume 1:00 as it’s the safer bet, and I think that’s what it will be…

Woohoo, 3 SD guys are coming up…

Me,
Erik,
Jerry

I’ve been waiting for this for so long…

Woohoo!

I wish I could go, but I got a band competition on saturday:(

Oh John, COME ON REALLY! Finally my first CMW I can go to and now you won’t be there. I can’t really imagine CMW without you even though I haven’t been to one yet.

That sucks John about your injury. How long is the recovery time? Thanks for helping organizing this years even though you can’t even make it. I wish you a fast and speedy recover. BTW-What’s with all the injuries lately (2 broken backs, collar bone, torn acl, etc.)? I’ll try and take some extra photos for you!

End Threadjack

Can’t wait for this weekend! All packed up and ready to head out before the sun is even up tomorrow morning!

Sorry, John, but I’m in the same boat. Was doing a training run for CMW last Sat. and totally blew up my ankle. It’s like twice normal size and hasn’t gone down much in four days so I’m out. Bummer because I’d been looking foward to the event for two months. I trust everyone will have a blast.

JL

Well John L and John F get well soon! :slight_smile:

I’m gonna try to come out early enough Saturday morning in time for the trials & street comp from 3-6pm, then do two rides on Sunday!

Oh no, not you too JL! What’s the deal. Tell me you’re joking…both of you. Next I suppose the Hoover’s will be saying they aren’t going… :roll_eyes: Hope it heals fast so we can start riding together more frequently. Take care.

No!!!

you can’t not go John… you have too!

just walk it off dude;)

wow and now RAIN!? well that won’t stop me!

Dam!! I be with kitty, come on John more hardcore muni riders the better! I am rockin 2 injuries this weekend, im still gonna try and go as nutz as normal :roll_eyes:

This reminds me of when I was riding my 12 foot uni in a parade one year and started to feel my shoelace getting tighter and tighter. Luckily I was able to stop, ride backwards and unravel it before falling. Then I went to a nearby branch and tucked it in as best as I could. That would have really sucked coming down from there!

Leaving in 10 minutes!! So pumped…

If it rains, ride harder.

Have fun guys, ill make it to one of these sometime in the future.
