Finally got the battery charger for my camera…so here are some pictures from my afternoon ride today.
2-3. At Dickinson Campus. Never know what you are going to get when using a timer on your camera.

Weekend 27 mile charity ride. Great ride with a couple of old friends that traveled down especially for it.
About 500 riders took part. We were the only unicyclists.
MUni im Tessin
some people came over the alps to ride on the south part of them, so for once i wasn’t that lonely…
here are some pics:
Red sky at night, shepherd’s delight as they say*.
A quick evening ride that turned into a quite noticeable 2 hour ride, stopping because I ran out of light more than anything else (as you can see from the picture, which shows the sun setting behind the hills on the other side of the valley - the valley itself is 100m down in the middle of the pic but you can’t really see it thanks to the light).
About 20km, 564m of ascent, 564m of descent.
It is quite overgrown and a bit muddy on my trails at the moment. I crashed a million and one times. Finished the ride off with a quick descent through the graveyard woods, which are right close to home, down a super steep, rock strewn slope, with just not quite enough light to see everything properly, and no obvious trail to follow. That was silly.

Another local ride, about 20km again. In the pissing down rain.
I found two new trails, which I’ve called “The Trail of Doom” & “The Trail of Terror” for now until I find out what people actually call things round here.
The picture is from the bottom of the Trail of Doom, except in real life it is way steeper than this. The rocks are bigger than they look too. As a bonus, it was wet and very slippy. I came back covered in mud and bruises.

That does indeed look pretty tame Joe! Annoying when stuff you’ve just scared yourself silly on looks so much easier in pictures. I think things always look easier from the bottom as well - I’ve had a few times when I’ve looked up stuff and thought it worth a try but chickened out when looking down from the top.
BTW - that sunset pic from last week is nice.

Headed over to Mount Macedon today looking for a good loop for the next monthly MUni ride. It turns out there’s a dedicated cycling trail along with single track put in by the local MTB group… GREAT SUCCESS!

A quick pic from my latest ride. I’m working from home, and it has been raining all week, and I was just out and saw the river was high, meaning one section that is usually too rocky to swim, is now a lovely fast rapid. So, this is kind of a ride report, but a bonus river report too!
So, I rode out to the bottom of the section, passing a bunch of kids playing tennis - “Look there’s a man on a unicycle!”* Checked no-one was fishing, and that the river looked safe and dumped my running shoes there. Then I rode back to the top of the swim section, past the kids again - “Look, unicycle man again!”, in a sudden downpour, quickly dumped my riding shoes, unicycle & top and got in the river fast, before any busybody told me I was doing something stupid. Into the current - the first section was funnelling on either side of a nasty tree on so I swum hard on river right, and the current suddenly dragged me into the first wave, which was probably only a foot tall, but it felt like a rollercoaster dropping me into the trough after it. The next section I was dragged pretty fast, and even with the water a good foot higher than normal, it was a bit of a rock-fest, a couple of times I had to drag myself over them, then suddenly it comes out into deep water and it is just a lovely smooth, strong current pulling me along to my bag drop, which I just managed to spot in time to break out and get up the bank, then I bunged my running shoes and a fleece on and ran the 800m back to the unicycle (“Look, unicycle man hasn’t got a unicycle this time!”), bunged the rest of my stuff into my bag, and then rode off as quickly as possible, back home, and up my street, which is itself a bit of a muni ride, being surfaced with large rocks instead of tarmac (as was the fashion in the 1790s).
The stats:
Time: 30 minutes 21 seconds
Ride 1: 2700m
Swim: 465m (in under 5 minutes - pretty close to 400m world record pace!)
Run: 800m
Ride 2:520m
The picture shows one of the tamer bits of the river after the main rapid. I took it when I was scoping out the swim.

Oh so sweet
ConiferMuni and I rolling around the Golden, Colorado bike paths on Tuesday night.
Here we are in a parking lot at the Coors Brewery.
@lpounds:
Yes, it was awesome. None of the pictures I took can do it justice, though. Especially with this phone-camera… But you get the idea.
It was a very varied ride through all sorts of challenging rocky sections and very rooty parts. Very entertaining and beautiful.
By the way, this was just before my handle snapped. It did happen during a UPD. But not really a hard one, I thought. Anyways, I’m glad Kris will be replacing it with an improved version.
That picture with the chain looks pretty dangerous! Were you unicycling a via-ferrata?
