Today was perfect unicycling weather. About 21 degrees, a cool breeze and sunshine. I did a 30km long tour with my Fatty through all the beautiful forests on the ridge of Lake Constance. At the end I crowned my tour with a good meal in a country restaurant. Of course, a dessert with local strawberries could not be missing
The photo was taken shortly before the finish (see position map)
Missing one unicycle in this photo. We had a total of six riders for a WNC MUni weekend. It will be cinco de Mayo weekend next year for anyone interested
Occasionally I get to ride a bit later in the morning after I’ve dropped my lad at school and this morning that allowed for some lovely views of the local mountains by the sea. The mountain in the backdrop here is quite a well known mountain
Another selfie…
A little ride in a small village where I lived for 4 years about 10 years ago. I like this place.
A nice surprise before the ride. Someone broke my mirror… Again. But I don’t really care as long as it can be fixed with tape.
The 13th-century church of the village.
The river crossing the village.

Ok, I think you are going to talk about this frame because if there was a previous discussion I missed it!
Add me as a third!
It’s such an interesting setup that it could have its own topic. Are you guys OK if I move this message to a new topic named “my custom travel frame” or something like that?
I say, do it!
No problem, seems like a good idea
Done!
Ok, I will speak about it. I don’t think that I ever spoke about it here. I will start with a bit of backstory. My little brother has wanted to make a world tour on his uni since a few years, and has modified his 26er with a handlebar and a luggage rack. I wanted to have a similar uni to ride long distances on a few days, but I had a KH29, and I am not very tall, so I wouldn’t have a lot of room for frame bags. And I didn’t really like the idea of having a luggage rack, wich has a tendency t…
My wife ran with our dog last night, and I tried to keep up, which allowed me to fight the wind by myself. Turned out to be a beautiful evening to ride. I would have asked her to take the photo, but she and the dog were way ahead of me during the non-water photo, and behind me at the water photo.
So after a failed attempt at my 2nd Unipacking trip in May due to heat and a first attempt with not the best gear in October, I got in my first night of stealth camping. Wasn’t a long trip, only 15 km or so away from home, but I was able to get a lovely view of the sunset and sunrise and test out my new gear loadout.
I’ve got my pack down to 15lbs for a lighter load and 20 for an overnight with a bit more food and water needed.
This was also my first touring type ride on my newly built 29" wheel as well. She rides so well and I honestly couldn’t be happy with the final result.
A compilation of a ride my daughter and I did a few days ago. We were filming with an iPhone and I deleted the original audio because it was mostly my post COVID wheezing.iCloud
Do you live in Cornwall.
