Pictures of your latest ride

Yeah, that’s so beautiful. Reminds me of indian summer in Canada. I hope I can go there sometime soonish again.

had a fun night MUni

More Fall foliage- Colorado style

Great night shot, very sharp. Even the beads of water in the splash are perfect…though the look on your face is borderline maniacal.

The pic is amazingly postcard-like. Mike, does that scooped-out North(?) face (right of the peak) get a good snow pack on it? It looks like the epic ski run.

Very few have ski’d this peak, here is a link to the Davenport/Beidelman route from Davenports most excellent book. He ski’d all 54 14ers in a one years time, totally amazing. Check out their route off this massive mountain. :astonished:

Bringing this back up, but in photobucket, in your options, set the option that resizes your pictures only if they are larger than 1mb. You can easily get pictures that are multiple thousands pixels wide and tall while keeping the size under 1mb.

Or if you want, put a picture in a zipfile, and upload it right to a post like youd do with pictures. It has a 10mb limit per file, which is more than enough.

Wow, what a writeup! That’s nutty.

Frame caps from Saturday’s 12 mile MUni ride at Backbone trail in Pacific Palisades. About 1,500 feet of elevation gain. Also spotted a baby diamond back just of the trail. :smiley:

Had a great first ride around Sherwood Forest yesterday…lovely tracks made for a great 10 mile quick XC ride.

And at the end a guy came over and said…“I’ve seen you here a few times, although you’ve now shaved off your beard”…so who is the bearded one I was mistaken for???

Hi Splodge,

Shame Mikefule or I weren’t around this weekend, we might have bumped into you at Sherwood Pines. One of Mike’s regular haunts and mine occasionally.

But neither of us have been bearded, at least recently, so can’t have been one of us you were mistaken for.

There must be another Muni rider about then, I was also mistaken for somebody else on a Uni in Thetford forest recently…there must be more us out there then I think.

I wasn’t sure what time, or day, I would be there as I was dropping off my daughter at Lincoln Uni, otherwise I would have posted to see if anybody else was about.

I really liked the place and as it’s only 90 miles from me I think it will become a regular haunt. Would be good to have a meet there.

Great pics

Great and beautiful pictures I have seen here. I have never done unicycling.I think its very difficult to ride unicycle.Isn’t it???

awesome view…

Wow such a beautiful view of sea side…great job man…keep up the good work…

I am the only bearded muni rider around here that I know of, and I have ridden at Sherwood Forest, but only a couple of times. The times I have been there have been with a bunch of other muniists, so I doubt I would have been particularly singled out in order to be confused for you.

Anyway, looks like you had a great ride. As Gadge says, the next time you’re in the area, let us know and we can probably get a few of us together for a ride.

Whist we were out in the Peak District at the weekend, a car stopped and wound down its window to ask us if any of us were in the Ironbridge area a couple of weeks ago. I asked if we were riding a much bigger wheel and looked a little bit older and the car driver said yes. So, I think it’s fair to say that you had been spotted Monocyclism :slight_smile:

If the unicyclist in question was having his picture taken with a lady then it was definitely Monocyclism;)

Nice pictures people - especially Aspen Mike’s (as usual!) and Splodge’s first one in the forest.

I got back from Joe’s Peaks Muni Weekend last night. I’d booked today off work in case I ended up riding all day yesterday and having to drive home this morning, so I had a whole day to kill. So what did I do? Went out on a muni ride. I’ve been meaning to explore a bridle way that looks like it almost links up a couple of my favourite local trails (avoiding a few miles on the road) and today seemed like a good time to go for it - nice and clear (can navigate by sight) and dry (bogs not too dodgy). It was a pretty successful trip - the bridleway is very nice and ridable, with only a little climb at the end that was too steep and rocky to get up. It does peter out in the middle of nowhere, as shown on the map, but within sight of a clump of trees that I know is next to the other trail. It was probably about half a mile or so across the open moor, which was very hard to ride (and not really legal anyway) but didn’t take long to walk and wasn’t boggy - at least after a couple of weeks of dry weather. I don’t know if I’d fancy it in mist or after lots of rain, but in dry conditions it’s a nice new route. The first attached picture is of Norsworthy Bridge, near Burrator Reservoir, and the others are around an old farm building next to the Bridleway (heading towards Sheepstor Common).

Did a test ride to work yesterday. New saddle (KH09), new cycling pants and a new drinking bottle. Unfortunately the shape didn’t work very well in the bottle cage, that is why it is in backwards*. The bungee cord is necessary even with regular bottles to keep them from wiggling loose during riding. Maybe I should have spent more than $3 on the bottle cages :roll_eyes:

*the bottle, not the pants
