Just arrived in Cape Town with my Uni!

I just arrived in Cape Town a couple days ago with my 24" GUni in tow. I have been cruising around town and rode up to Table Mountain. People have been telling me there are other unicyclists around. Would love to get local tour of some MUni rides, or to just connect.

My specialty is unicycle basketball (2nd Place at Unicon XIV).

I don’t have a phone here. Email jim@jimsowers.com or

Will be here until about Dec. 22 (more or less – figuring out how to make it to Ghana by land :slight_smile:

Best,

Jim

Hey Jim

Good to see someone from the States in sunny South Africa. I’m unfortunately heading out of town for the next few days with the long weekend here, so won’t be able to ride. I have however sent your details to a bunch of people in Cape Town asking them to get hold of you for a ride. You can also give the guys at OddWheel Unicycles a shout (http://www.unicycle.co.za) . They are our local Uni suppliers. Give Alan a call on 0823412639. They have contacts for just about all unicyclists in the country.

We have some awesome MUni trails, so even if you don’t meet up with anyone you have to go check out the Tokai trails… Cost to ride is R30, around $4

Heading up to Ghana will be an adventure. I wish you the best for the trip :slight_smile:
Cheers

Hi Brent,
Thanks so much for your response and for putting the word out!

Donna contacted me, and I went with her and Alan to meet Quinton for a ride near Stellenbosch. It was an epic ride – a fairly warm 15k ride with lots of hill climbing! Hoping to do Tokai with them on Wed.

Best,
Jim

Hey Jim,

Thought you may want this…

Thanks!

As the weakest rider in the group on Friday:“I am still in pain”, those hills don’t look menacing from the bottom.

It was great meeting you Jim, enjoy your trip and hopefully we’ll ride together again.
