Default Don't Miss The Next Long Island Greenbelt Muni Ride 6/04/05


Please join us for another awesome Muni ride thru the Long Island
Greenbelt trails.

Date: June 4th(Saturday)
Time: 10:30am
Place: 36 Long Ridge Road, Plainview N.Y. 11803
Contact: or (516)702-9807

Bagels, Juice, Coffee and More will be served before and after the
ride.

The Long Island Greenbelt Trails are top rated among mountain bike
riders. There is an enormous amount of different terrain to choose from,
flat packed dirt trails to loose gravel, Embedded rocks, roots, stumps,
drop offs, great hill climbs, down hills and everything in-between.

Riding For Beginners to Pro’s
Fun For Everyone

Our last ride the age range was from 7 to 53 years old. No one was
disappointed.
To my surprise David Jones showed up. David was the president of the
Long Island Unicycle Club back in the 80’s along with John Foss who has
brought unicycling to where it is now. Now David has rediscovered
unicycling all over again and is back in action. Lets get Long Island
and the Tri-State area “On One Wheel“, along with the help from Dave
Stone and the NY Unicycle Club who has done a great job growing the
Unicycle community in the tri-state area.

Bring all your Uni’s, Our launching spot also has many steep paved hills
and wide paved flats. I have a 26” Muni for someone to use or a whole
bunch of others to just fool around and practice with on street 16”,
20”, 24”, 26”, 28”, (2) Giraffes And a Coker.

Does anyone want to ride a dirt BMX track?
Please let Renie and I know if you are coming so we can feed you.

Adam

P.S. Here are a few shots from last ride. The conditions are even better
now with the trees in full bloom. You feel like your in the mountains.

There is great riding for any size and type of wheel. I also have a 26"
set up for moderate trail riding and a few others you can borrow. Don't
worry You'll be happy!
I'm sure some of the other riders would also be happy to let you take a
spin on one of theirs. Some bring a trunk full of unicycles.

Its riding you don't want to miss.

Yea! Long Island! (I grew up in Baldwin back in the day)
Is this place close to any LIRR station? From the LIRR, would it be
reachable by taxi? (I live in NYC)
My daughter has a knobby on her unicycle, and I would be into putting my
Duro Leopard and long cranks on mine just for this!
Details for the New York Citiers (especially for us ex-Long Islanders!)
Cheers,
Steve aka Dogbowl

a cigar at the same time. Is that too much to ask for?

Take the train to Hicksville and then a $6 taxi (at the station) to
Adam's house. I've done it quite a few times when I was living in NYC
and Brooklyn.

I can't make this weekends ride as I'll be riding my uni in the
Morristown, NJ Tour de Cure 32-mile ride for diabetes.

I'd love to join you guys on one of your future rides. When is the next
ride scheduled?

Thank You Everyone for a great ride.

Jeff and Brian who came from NJ. Both of whom love thier Kris Holm 20"
and 24" Muni's. And they really like to play.

Jeff(shibumi) with his 28" Sun Muni conversion. He's got Muni down now.
Just a few months ago his 28" never touched the dirt.

Then there was Amos, our youngster(53). The man makes 53 look like 35.
He rides a variety of Uni's. For street its a Coker, for Dirt its a
choice of a 24" with a Gazzoladi or a 29"er. He also has come a long
way.

And there was Tycho and family. Tycho came with his son and daughter.
His son road a 24". For a kid living in the city riding for only a year
he did extreemly well. His daughter borrowed a mountain bike from me,
she never road Muni and did'nt want to start then. Tycho himself had a
26" street which did him just fine.

Attached are pictures.
