In fact, I may be the one member with the least # of years of unicycling under my belt! Dave White learned in the 60s. Cumulative age class. If there were more teams, it might be equitable to have a 100 y.o. and a 100 y.o. category (or 125 - 125).

I think you'll be amazed at how well you track and how maneuverable you'll safely be. I've been winter riding in MN for four seasons - it's -almost- my favorite season for Cokering! -- genbirch ------------------------------------------------------------------------ genbirch's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/14788 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/64739 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com

Hey Mags, is that Arctic Circle sign on the Haul Rd.? If so, I've been there. On a motorcycle trip 2 yrs. ago. I talked to 2 different people who were biking that road but I didn't see any unicycles  (emoticon placed for Harper's benefit) -- underdog 'I tell you, we are here on Earth to fart around, and don't let anybody tell you different' - Kurt Vonnegut ------------------------------------------------------------------------ underdog's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/6197 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/64739 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com

I'm already anxious to ride the trails again, QUOTE] Ride now, why wait...Using the right tire and having hard packed snow or fresh fluffy snow (less than 6") and you will be amazed. (I have a kenda Klaw XT tire) Even icy conditions can be navigated on unicycle, especially with knobby tires. The walkways usually freeze up with foot prints which help with the grip. Mixed snow and ice patches add to the fun of the ride. I was surprised with my 29" how much fun can be had. Why let dust collect on your uni-stead. Larger diameter wheels roll thru snow much easier than 20", 24" wheels. Recommend you wear helmet, elbow pads, gloves for any UPD's. Ride sensibly and within your experience level, don't expect to be able to do 360 spins or other fancy manuvers. Give it a whirl, opens up a new aspect to unicycling. -- legtod2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ legtod2's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/15732 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/64739 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com

Cool looking ride, looks like solid rubber tires. Must be an uncomfortable ride.

They also rode the manmade hill at Hamm Park next to Como Lake when it was covered in snow. It can be done.

I don't know why I thought he would kill me if I held a leash while riding. He was better behaved with me on the uni than he has ever been with me walking. Happy New Year to the 45+ crowd.
