Default Possible Uni Meet In Iowa


Hi, I have been away from the forums for awhile but im back now, anway.
I was pondering the idea of having a uni meet put on in the
iowa/illinois area. I was just wondering if there was anyone who would
be willing to help me out if your in the area and also if anyone would
come. If it were to be put on there would most likely be a trials comp
held, some freestyle comps in a gym (this gym would also be used for
just playing around and getting to know eachother) and also a few muni
rides organized for those who dont want either trials or freestyle and
then one big muni ride for everyone.

The event will most likely be free unless the cost for me goes above a
certain point in which case it may be around 1 - 3 dollars. But I'm
guessing it will remain free.

The ideal location will be in Dubuque, Iowa. Which is the exact point
where Iowa, Illinois, and Wisconsin all meet together. But the location
could change in accordance with people attending and if i could get help
in another location. Perhaps a club such as ISUUC could help put on the
event in their area

Let me know what you think.

Sugar Bottom near North Liberty would be a great Muni gathering. How
many days were you thinking?

It would probobly be near later august a week or two before the school
year starts as a nice end to summer. Or it could be in later
september.

Sugar bottom would be cool too. MY only real concern is peoples
attendance and people to help. I just don't think the uni'ist
population is very high in these parts.

I've been wanting to get down to Sugarbottom before the semester starts.
It's been two years since I muni'd there.

maybe we dont even need the freestyle/trails stuff. Perhaps we could
just organize a large (or small) meeting down at sugar bottom. Camp out
maybe and stay 2 or 3 days perhaps. Muni gone wild.

I would assume we can get a few guys from Iowa State to come over. My
cousin and fellow 'GURAI' (http://www.gurai.unicyclist.com/) rider is
going to be a freshman at the U of Iowa in Iowa City (near North
Liberty).

On a side note, the organizers of the 24 hour race in Boone, IA have
told me they will set up a UNICYCLE PRIZE CATEGORY if we get enough
entrants. The race is Sept 4-5.

Troy (phone number and last name on 24 hr race page) is willing to
answer any questions about the race.
