Public ride

I'm just announcing that I went for my 1st public ride today.
Along the prom with my son on his bike. It felt really good.
Beats skulking around in a deserted car park.

I have been riding since January.
I don't pick it up quickly but I'm very keen.
I also definately intend to come to the BUC. I'm just trying to sort out
whether my family are going to come too. Can't see my 6 yr old coping
very well with the indoor camping lark.
There's very few unicyclists around here at the moment so I'm really
looking forward to being stunned and amazed by some unicycling talent.

Cathy,

Other riders with young families attend BUC, including myself. This
will be my 7yr old's 3rd, and this time she is even keen to get
riding.

If it is like last year, there will be a quiet room for families, or any
others that may want to sleep some. Food included in the price also
works well.

The potential for you to learn new skills at BUC is huge, it is probably
the most unicyclists you will see in one place, until next year at
UNICON !!! So I would highly recomend you get there.

See you in Billingham

Chris

I can think of five 5-7 year olds who should be there this year,
including my two. Both of mine were inspired to try harder once they saw
another 5YO who was better than them.

Although they haven't been to BUC before they enjoy attending UniMeets &
except for the car journey are looking forward to BUC.

I went to last years BUC after having been on one wheel for only 3
weeks. I was amazed by the talent of the youngsters!

I could hardly stay on my wheel and there was 5 year olds whizzing
around me backwards!

Got me inspired to get better!

See you all at this years BUC!

I'm interested in what I can expect after riding for a year.
