Monthly MUni Ride 04

Monthly MUni Ride 04
After a few days of sunny weather the MTB Singletrack at Woodend was primed to be in great condition for Monthly MUni 04! The weather gods have certainly smiled on us over the last few MUni rides. Not so good on the home front though as I woke up weak, dizzy and shaking with the gastro flu that is making...

Lake Daylesford MUni Addicts

Lake Daylesford MUni Addicts
It might still officially be Winter, but out of the blue today was a perfect Spring Saturday for a uni ride around Lake Daylesford with some upcoming MUni addicts. After meeting up at the Boathouse Cafe we headed off around the entire lake circuit, the longest distance a few of the guys have ridden so...

42nd Birthday MUni

42nd Birthday MUni
Turned 42 today. Best way to celebrate? A muddy MUni ride! As luck would have it Daniel from Melbourne had time for a ride before heading off to Western Australia so we met outside of Woodend to have a crack at the complete Wombat MTB Single Track loop. The day started out cool and sunny with a small...

Monthly MUni Ride 03

Monthly MUni Ride 03
Great winter weather and a bunch of riders, the third monthly MUni ride was a hoot! Lots of laughs, no broken bones, great success Like many unicyclists almost all of my riding is alone so the social aspect of the monthly MUni rides is really enjoyable, though always sort of strange initially. From...

Jack Frost

Jack Frost
The first clear sub zero night in a few weeks produced a heavy frost, like a light snow fall. Being Saturday there was time to sleep in a little, then head down to the local recreation reserve with the 29′er for a quick spin on the crunchy trails before the frost melted away. All before the morning...

Black Forest Trails

Black Forest Trails
With a few hours to spare I headed out to start mapping the network of trails in the Black Forest with the Garmin 405. I’m not much of a GPS junky but it’s great to have when riding new areas, not to find your way around (that’s what eyes are for IMO) but to have an accurate map afterwards. Along...

Woodend II – Singletrack’s Revenge

Woodend II – Singletrack’s Revenge
The recent ride at Woodend got me thinking… of going back and riding more of the singletrack. The MTB trails in the Wombat Forest at Woodend are awesome for MUni, almost as if they were custom made for mountain unicycling! With the Freeride KH29′er ready to roll I took the video camera along...

Woodend MTB Singletrack

Woodend MTB Singletrack
I felt ok after the monthly MUni ride so with a break in the wet weather and the flu seemingly done and dusted it was time to start exploring the network of MTB singletrack trails at Woodend, something I’ve been meaning to do for ages. The singletrack might also be ideal for upcoming MUni group...

Browns Gully

Browns Gully
I met up with Eric the Red and we headed out on our 29′ers to ride the Browns Gully section of the Great Dividing Trail. The return of cold Winter weather dampened our enthusiasm initially, but it turned out to be a great day for riding. The section of the Great Dividing Trail between Mount Franklin...

KH 29 Taken, C’est la vie!

KH 29 Taken, C’est la vie!
A mysterious whip cracking, juggling, 8 foot giraffe riding Frenchman has stolen the heart of my KH 29′er. I first saw them sitting together amidst the autumn leaves, sharing stories of foreign lands. Mysterious Frenchman & KH29 He mounted the 29′er in strange and unusual ways. Strange...
