Thanks for the info, tomblackwood. I'm definitely aware of the Moab Muni Fest (http://www.moabmunifest.homestead.com). In fact, although I have plenty of Street to learn on my 20" (and love it), I purchased a KH 24" last week in the hope that I will get in some MUni time before the Fest (March 28, 2008). It is likely I'll end up a lurker at the Fest with weak MUni skills, because the mountains are already blanketed in a thin layer of snow. I will be transitioning to telemark soon, but not yet (I'm meeting my buddy in a few minutes to ride on this brisk, 45F, morning). -- stevea ------------------------------------------------------------------------ stevea's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/15485 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

OK, I'm 54, and started on Christmas Day, 2006. Purchased a KH24 and went to Moab in March, then purchased a Nimbus 36 for the LBI Unithon in June. Rode my first 25-miler last month by riding from my home to the local community college on the 36er, using Rails to Trails, back roads, and sidewalks. I try to get out and ride about town 3 to 4 days a week, covering 8-12 miles at a time. I love this sport! -- ahollow ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ahollow's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/13990 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

It is likely I'll end up a lurker at the Fest with weak MUni skills, because the mountains are already blanketed in a thin layer of snow. If you haven't tried it already, before you get too much snow you might want to check out the "Quarry Trail". You park at the base of Little Cottonwood, and the entrance is basically right by the big flashing road conditions sign. The trail is an old road--now quite decayed which is the challenge--which was used to access the quarry for the temple granite. It goes up the south side of the creek, and offers some good accessible beginning muni...some uphill, downhill, stair-steppy challenges, etc. Plus great views of the creek. -- tomblackwood Tailgate at your own risk... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tomblackwood's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/3762 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 don't think the date for 09 has been selected yet, but contact me or visit http://www.moabmunifest.homestead.com when 08 is done. If you do come either year, feel free to PM me and I'll try to arrange a geezers gathering. I'll buy the first round of Moab beer. I have two recent French connections: the Uni Girls video (with French teenagers) is what got me to try a uni this summer, and I was on holiday in Paris and Normandy in 2006.

[image: http://www.unicyclist.com/forums/att...=11919605 85]  You are my new hero. That is just plain ill sickness. Well thanks to this thread I realize I am not just some old geezer who is trying to reclaim some semblance of my youth. So I just ordered an actual Muni today! I am so totally stoked. I ordered the Nimbus 26'er. I blame each and every one of you!  Like I need another sport.  -- Bondo ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Bondo's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/15716 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
