Pictures of your latest ride

A quick half hours ride up to the graveyard.

Haha. That was pretty funny. The end kinda grossed me out though.

Is there a path in that picture?

Easy path is sort of going off to the right in front of the rocks. Hard path is coming down the hill from straight ahead, over that big pile of rocks.

I’m not sure ‘path’ is a good word to describe them though - it’s more you might well be at the top, and want to be at the bottom, and these are ways you might get there, there isn’t really a defined path on that bit.

It is quite steep, which makes things more rideable than you might think. The whole area appears to be one big rock pile which is nice.

Round the corner, there is a lovely little bit of singletrack, twisting along the edge of a steep hill, with sneaky little root drops every few metres. That is really fast and fun.

A few pics from a trip to Maui this week.

i love hawaii. i brought my trials to Kauai and the big island last summer.

today me and Jim (munivision) and tim (UniMOG) went on a nice 11 mile ride. I hit a top speed of 21.2 mph. i also crashed at a similar speed trying to race a bike. I was going so fast that my 5.10’s didn’t grab the asphalt and slid. left a 5 ft skid mark. Oh well here are a few shots i took. I am not in them because i am behind the camera.






it is! :astonished: :smiley:

Bondi beach :sunglasses:

Sorry for the double post

  • and this one. Grr about the car :angry:

Bradgate Park, Leicestershire. Never ever go to Bradgate Park on a sunny Sunday. Never. There are herds of people. Herds of them.

A tough climb up the back of the hill to the folly. A folly is a useless building paid for by someone with too much money, too much time on their hands and not enough to do - a bit like one of those massive plasma screen TVs.

The climb was on hard baked mud with deep ruts, and with rocks projecting through. The rhythm of riding over rocks (even just a few of them) is very different from my usual riding in the forest, and it was an exhausting climb. Two step-off UPDs and two deliberate stops to recover my breath.

From the top, a tricky descent on a barely-trampled path, again with sudden unexpected rocks. A pause to recover by a muddy pond then a slog up to another hill top. Then I did a short and very steep descent - the picture doesn’t do it justice. At the bottom of that descent, a chap started a conversation, telling me that he had a unicycle, and did a bit of juggling. A nice change to receive a serious comment about unicycles for a change.

The deer in the park are almost tame and completely unfaxed by unicyclists and walkers.

Edit: Photos aren’t in the right order. Does it matter?

Rolling down to old Maui, rolling down to old Maui.

(There’s a sea chanty with that chorus. I don’t think they rolled down on unicycles though.)

Got my cousin to tag along as the photographer to test the wireless strobe triggers I got from HK

Bah, forgot to upload this cool snap:

Minkuni, great shots, wireless strobes are a lot of fun. Which triggers did you get?

Heres some from a night ride I did with Sam a few weeks ago, he had just gotten a new set of shoes - his old pair literally fell apart.
