Southeastern US trails good for MUni

I was wondering if there were any good trails for hosting a MUni weekend
other than the typical MTB trails like Tsali or Clemson? I donno about
the other people that live on this end of the country, but I can't
afford to fly out to California or Moab(round trip plane ticket is
around $400). Having a MUni weekend out here would offer a change in
enviroment from Moab and places like that.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to come out and ride Moab, but the cash
flow isn't coming in like before college. If anyone knows of trails
out here and/or might wanna help organize a ride, let me know. I think
it would be great to have an event down south here. Plus, UDC is close
and people could visit the showroom if desired.

I'm out of Huntsville, AL. I haven't muni'd anywhere but around Monte
Sano State Park (which is right out my back gate). Probably 50 miles
worth of trails. A good mix of fairly non-technical and level trails
on top of the mountain (basically a large mesa type of a "mountain"),
and good technical routes anywhere going off the mountain. Anyhow I'd
like to be apart of some southeast muni weekend or something. BTW, a
few of us are going to Fort Yargo, GA this May to take part in a 12hr
mtb race, entering as solo unicyclists. The race director is cool with
uni's so we're going for it. Check out:

I used to live in the southeast and my brother still lives in the
Asheville NC area. There are plenty of places to hold a muni event in
western NC. I will pm you with contact info. I think it's a great
idea and high time we had a festival/event in the south.

I love the idea of a MUni Weekend or similar in the general area of
Atlanta, or wherever works. Don't know if I could make it, but it would
be great for people who can. It doesn't matter where you live, there
are usually some good trails within an hour or two of you. Talk to the
mountain bikers and search on the Web to see what's around, then go try
it out. Stick to legal trails though.

Yeah, there are a couple of good trails around the Atlanta area, but
none long enough or exciting enough to host a weekend ride.

I wish I could go. Unfortunately I'm already committed to a 12 Hour
Mountain Bike Race (Don't worry I'm doing it muni!) the same weekend in
Fort Yargo, Georgia. Another guy from Atlanta is signed up with me and
there may possible be a relay team of unicyclists as well. Too bad I
didn't know about this earlier! But definitely next time! Hope you
all have a great time.

the Mountain Sport Festival sounds cool, I don't have school that Friday
so that would work out great and I can bring some other riders from
around here.

I've been working with the Mtn. Sport Festival and they are going to
host a unicycle trials demo Saturday afternoon, May 5th. That morning
there will be a downhill MUni race on a trail called Kitsuma, in Black
Mountain, just east of Asheville. I'll have a website up soon with
info, etc. This will be the first annual Muni fest here in the
Southeast, Asheville is an ideal location. We'll have group rides
Friday and Sunday, (and thursday and monday for those who want to stay
extra), with the competition/trials demo on Saturday. The Mtn. Sport
festival is very excited to host a unicycle event; so it's up to us to
make it happen. Once I have the web page up I'll post a link. Any
questions, email me.

or post a reply.
