Ps. Anyone cycling at Durham?

yep, there should be at least one ride (…a day, if I have my way). Friday
morning in the woods opposite the convention with Yorkshire TV making a film
out of it.

Yep. Get on and ride your local offroad route. Then find another, then another,
then some more away from Cambridge (so as to actually get in some hills),
increase the length of rides gradually and before you know it you’ll be riding
over anything. You should also come to the British Muni Weekend
(http://www.vimes.u-net.com/bmw.html) for some live tips from all your
favourite UK Muniers! (Some of us less favourite ones will be there too, but you
can always ignore us …
me … whatever…)

: Ps. Anyone cycling at Durham?

Will the BMW be on May 15th/16th in Dorset? Does a unicycle have only one wheel?
Will I see you there? (Only Smarties have the answer…)

Re: Is “MUNI” polysemic?

Wanna see the “Flippin Muni Building”? Check out this picture:

…only in arkansa

George Peck contended the name “Muni” a few years back. He thought it would
cause confusion with the “Municipal” abbreviation. George wanted to call
mountain unicycling UMX or ATU or something like that (what the heck was it, I
can’t remember now). But the name Muni just stuck. It’s more inline with the
well know mountain biking term.
