Friday Afternoon Ride and Cops.

Got my new Coker together again with seatpost rail adaptor and new post
to set the seat further forward. So I called Munipsycho for an early
afternnon ride around Stone Mountain Park.

We meet at a Bank parking lot just outside the Park so others that meet
us don't have to pay to get in. If you ride in there is no entrance
fee. So after a few minutes of taking pictures of the two of us smoking
cigars while riding,(See Dogbowls dream) we headed into the Park. As we
ride through the pedestrian entrance we pass an officer. For some
reason I dismount right in front of him. I didn't drop my Cigar
though. Anyway we exchange pleasantries, and I continue on our ride
around the park. We have done this like 20 times over the past 6
months, so it isn't the first time.

As we head down a really steep hill about a third of the way around the
park a Park Ranger comes pulling up beside us with his lights on. Now I
am like all ready to be ****ed off since in the past, I have been pulled
over(At a very dangerous time) while rollerblading around the park. He
then pulls in front of us and during this time has said something to
Munipsycho that I hadn't heard. I pull up and hold onto the bed of the
truck because, I really don't want to have to freemount again. Since
putting on the new seat adaptor I have been having a hell of a time
mounting. I think the seat was too high. Anyway, I get around the
front were the two are talking and this is what I see.

Then I realize what's going on and go ahead and dismount. The Ranger it
turns out had asked Munipsycho if he could try out his 29er. He has a
cheap 20 inch and a 6 footer he rides in the Stone Mountain 4th of July
Parade.

Here he is on my GB4/Stockton 36er after a little help mounting.

Here he is apparently trying to steal my new ride.

And to think I was ready for the lecture about how dangerous these
things are, and how we can't ride here, blah, blah, blah. Needless to
say this was a great experience and hope he will get together with us to
ride in the future. Oh yea, sorry for the crappy quality, these are
from my phone, we had put the real camera away before we started riding.

I seem to remember that it rained.

And then the phone went dead.

Maybe it's just the psycho part of my identity, though.


The ranger was very friendly though. And tall, too. He had to be to ride
my uni, because I keep the seat cranked WAAAYYY up there.

First off, that phone stunk, and anyone who speaks to you while your on
it is thankful. The new phone is much better.

Yea it rained. Man was that great! I love riding in the rain.

Oh and aren't you on your way to San Diego?

I don't think there was any question that they weren't Cuban's.
Munipsycho went all out, to provide cigars, but not that far out.

It moved the seat forward, but I stayed in the same place. Not really
any change. I just sit a little further back on the seat. It also
makes it much harder to mount. Not a big fan of having the fron of the
seat sticking up. Not sure how so many others ride like that.

I have a new frame on the way. Should be at the powder coaters next
week. I am thinking that it will be waiting for me when I get back from
NAUCC.

Breaks my heart to change frames. George was such a pleasure to work
with. Rick has been good so far as well. Anybody want a brand new
Limited Edition GB4 36er frame? Too bad there isn't a crying smilie.

I went to Stone Mountain Park about two summers ago and camped along a
river near there. Ever since I started unicycling about 6 months ago,
and found out about Muni'ing 4 months ago, I've wanted to go to Stone
Mountain and ride along the top of the rock. I'm not sure if they have
any unicycling restrictions on the mountain, but I remember that we took
a lift to the top and I'm not sure if they'd want a unicycling on the
lift. Anyways... there's nowhere to muni here in S. Florida

You can't ride on the mountain itself; only on the road around the park.
But the conyers, GA course is a good granite course, and is close.
Come on up. We're always looking for an excuse to ride there.
