Monthly MUni Ride 02

It was GREAT to see so many unicyclists brave the cold and stormy Winter weather forecast and arrive at the Chocolate Mill meeting point for the second Monthly MUni ride.

We drove out to an area of forest called Dry Diggings which was anything but dry due to the wild weather over the last couple of days and with uni’s sorted rode along single track to Browns Gully and back.

Thanks to Unicycle.Com Australia we had 24″ and 26″ ISIS Nimbus MUni’s available as loaners for the ride which were put to good use.

Ride Route, Monthly MUni 02

The single track was wet and slippery but lots of fun.

It was my first ride in a couple of weeks due to a crappy winter flu so the aim was to take it easy and not get too wet and cold. Amazingly and thankfully the stormy weather held off all day, until we returned to the Chocolate Mill.

The Chocolate Mill offered a free ultimate hot chocolate for the best UPD of the Day, claimed by Oscar although Joell’s nut buster while crossing Browns Gully on a fallen tree was a close second

Thanks to everyone who braved the weather forecast and came along for the second Monthly MUni ride, especially the families who drove up from Melbourne.

Next Monthly MUni: Sunday August 9th

   Heya Morgan, yeah was a fun day! I guess about 1/2 the group (some not in photo) came up from Melbourne.

   You might recognize these puddles from an earlier ride!
