Don’t mean to bump this thread from almost 3 months ago, but I’m moving to the Palm Coast area (close to St. Aug about an hour south of Jax). I don’t own a uni, but I do plan on buying one. Just thought I’d throw it out there…
I live in Jax…well a bit north of Jax, but its might as well be part of Jax. I live in Yulee, which is just west of Amelia Island. Ive been trying to find places to go myself. There is a dirt trail on the island at the fort (was fun on a two wheeler…could be fun on a uni), which is just kinda hilly and such…you might want to try some of the talbot islands if you are looking for muni…though you wont find much challenging things in FL as far as muni I am sure…no mountains in sight. For street I have been going to a skate park and any random parking lot I could find, old strip malls, schools and church.
The highest point in Fl is 5,000ft I believe so yeah…Muni for the most part is out..Although, if you go out to Gainsville (well…the Keystone Hights) area there is some trails you can probably go. There are no real trails in Jax or the surrounding areas, its all urban. But yeah…if you want to go MUni (as much as you can get in FL), go out to Keystone or the surrounding areas..
i’ll be in st augustine next week. anyone want to get together. i have 20 inch wheels there. does anyone have an extra 36incher or 29er that i could borrow so that we can do a ride like 2pac and unibugg are talking about?
One Wheel Wednesday
Hey I work at Lakeshore Bicycles on the westside of Jacksonville and I have decided to start OWW. Pretty much I think we will ride anywhere and anything downtown, westside regional, whatever. If you want to learn impossible wheel (along with myself and everyone at the shop) we are building one and it should be complete by 6/6/07 just in time for OWW. Anyone can come and ride. Meet around 5:50 on Wednesdays at the shop 2108 Blanding Blvd, Jax,Fl 32210
If you want a new unicycle we have some torkers in-stock and we can order Kris Holm and Surly
Count me in for the next OWW. Hope you all had fun tonight.
UM… any survivors from the impossible wheel? 
Tornado warnings and thunderstorms… I guess that cuts me out this week.
Disappointed about not riding, but happy we are finally getting some steady rain. Fire and smoke of late has been scary.
Ya! for rain.
Main Street Bridge
I rode around Friendship Park, crossed the Main Street Bridge, and followed the river on the side of the Landing. Crossing the Main Street Bridge was a first for me today. I made it over towards the Times Union Building and then looked down the ramp towards the hospital. It was the image of the hospital that made me decide to turn back and save the Acosta Bridge for another day. 
I live just south of St. Aug in Flagler County, but I’m unable to ride unassisted. (No practice space), but it’s still cool to know other people in the area. Does anyone do commuting/touring or is this all trick riders?
Whoops, I see I’ve left a response already!
I did it!
The weather was soooo beautiful today. As soon as the last student FINALLY left class, I grabbed my keys and headed out. I wasn’t sure where I was going. Should I Muni, try some hills, relax with a slow ride at the park or find something new? I ended up at Friendship Park. A most excellent choice for such a beautiful Friday afternoon. After warming up around the fountain I breezed over the Main Street Bridge, passed the Landing, and leisurely rode along the St. Johns. Boats passing, joggers running hither, people strolling after work, cyclists zooming by. It was pleasant to be part of it.
Then I tackled the elevated platform that takes you over the railroad tracks. A bicyclist behind me had to dismount and push his bke up so you can imagine my amazement when I reached the top with no dismounts. Every single level! Yes, I was tired. But so thrilled! So yet again I faced that crazy hill that could be very steep if it weren’t made in sections, I decided to push on and see where this route led. So down down down and then along walkways with the St. Johns River lashing the concrete to my left. Access to the river ended near the interstate so I headed back via Rosselle and Riverside Ave. There were spots along Riverside where the sidewalk was closed, so naturally I moved into the bke lane with all the traffic. I don’t know if the cars were comfortable, but I was. 
And obviously, I survived it.
I planned to get back to the river by riding behind some building, but never found a good spot. So suddenly I found myself at the base of the Acosta. And yes. I did it. I went up and over the Acosta. What an amazing view. It was a fantastic ride with so little barrier between me and the river below. The wind was blowing and a car from the skyway even passed by. I completed the loop by Friendship Park. So excited that I finally tried and made the loop. I mean I am I didn’t break any speed records, but it was a doable ride.
Only one thing would have made it better? Someone to ride with.
A beautiful day.
A beautiful ride.
I can’t wait for tomorrow.
Maybe some MUNI?
I LIVE IN JACKSONVILLE FLORIDA TOO!!! I didn’t know there were other riders here in this god forsaken town.
I’ll resurrect this zombie thread. . .
Is anyone up for riding in or around Jax? Just moved here and upgraded to a Muni. I’ve found a few nice parks with some trails, but I’d really like to find some folks to ride with.
Anyone?
Bueller? Bueller?
Univex lives in Jacksonville. Click my name and look at my friends list, hes on it.
Have you checked out this thread? First (Occasional) Florida mUni Meetup
I am in Ocala right here by Santos which is great for Muni.

she’s alive
I’m still here. Keep this thread alive and maybe there is hope for a nice unicycle club someday.
I ride in Jax, St. Augustine, and have discovered the rail trails in Palm Coast.
whendo you ride in st. augustine and where?? I’m ALWAYS downtown st. aug because of the many things for trials
Hi DSchmitt,
I ride around Anastasia State park on the beach across the bridge to Castillo. Also around the back area by the amphitheatre.
Sometimes around Marineland around the boardwalk. Washington oaks trails.. though I haven’t been there in a while.
I’m working out a ride to go from Washington Oaks to the Palm Coast. It seems like a nice ride.
And you?
edited for: oh sorry. You asked when too. Whenever I can. I live in south Jax so it isn’t a long trip for me.
unbelievable. I can’t believe I haven’t seen you then. I ride my 36" in anastasia state park, near the ampitheater as well.. Theres like the administration entrance, and then a “restricted area” sign that I pass anyway and theres a little vehicle trail that’s decently long. The nature trail is also short, but fun. I also like continuing onto the beach from there.
I only ride the 20" downtown and at vilano beach.
My dad also rides a unicycle, but only once a week or so.
and what are these palm coast trails you speak of? lol
Wow. That’s incredible. I’ll bet you are the other coker rider I’ve heard about from the park rangers. !!
I’ve never been to Vilano let alone ride there.. Is it nice? So cool that your dad rides too. I did ride the nature trail at Anastasia but only once and felt terribly guilty cause bicyclists are not supposed to ride it. But I ride the fire roads out there a lot when I’m camping. They are nice, wide, and long enough.
I found the new Lehigh railtrail in Palm Coast recently. It is paved but right now only a little over 4 miles long. But a nice route through the trail and down a few more roads over the intercoastal (beautiful climb!) and to the beach stretches the ride. There are plans to extend the railtrail west several more miles.
Around Lehigh are some off road trails too called Graham Swamp. I haven’t been there yet but plan to someday. Have you hear of them?
I rode the nature trail once on the 24 and once on the 29 lol. I figure im not doing any skidding or anything so its not doing any damage, lol.
yeah vilano is really nice. so many places to ride including guana river state park which has a 6 mile trail or so.
I didnt know about any trails in palm coast. I’m going to have to check them out.
