There is no description for the Winery Trail because it’s a “secret” trail and posting anything about it on the web would not be cool. Those who went on it know what it is.

The rides sure were fun. I even discovered a new trail (the Winery Trail). The best part is that I didn’t loose anyone on any of the rides. It’s a lot more fun to ride the trails with a group of other riders. Now I’m back to riding the trails by myself.

Tony Melton from New Zealand came by last weekend before heading back to New Zealand on Monday. On Saturday we rode the Preston Railroad Trail on Tiger Mountain and on Sunday we rode Skookum Flats. Skookum Flats is a river trail that follows a section of the White River out near Mount Raineer.

I’m bummed I couldn’t make it up to Vancouver for the North Shore rides. I really want to see what those trails are like first hand. I know the North Shore videos don’t do them justice. Nothing looks as steep or as high on video as it does in person. One of these days I’ll get up there and see the trails for myself. Heck, if I practice my jumping, drops, skinnies and falling, I might even be able to ride some of it.

Thanks to all. NAUCC and UNICON were a blast.

We had an amazing number of cars parked there. I don’t remember how many people were on that ride, but it was the most that we had for any of the rides. It’s a good thing that a dozen cars full of unicyclists doesn’t attract any attention from the locals. The secret is still safe.

The challenge is that now everyone must forget how they got there.

One Wheelly Wonderful Ride

John,
Thank you for doing an amazing job organizing and running all the fun rides. If you ever need riding buddies, I know that many riders from Panther Pride would enjoy going on some expeditions (ex-uni-tions) with you. PLEASE, stay in touch! You are always welcome at our campfire!!
