Southeastern US trails good for MUni
I was wondering if there were any good trails for hosting a MUni weekend other than the typical MTB trails like Tsali or Clemson? I donno about the other people that live on this end of the country, but I can't afford to fly out to California or Moab(round trip plane ticket is around $400). Having a MUni weekend out here would offer a change in enviroment from Moab and places like that. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to come out and ride Moab, but the cash flow isn't coming in like before college. If anyone knows of trails out here and/or might wanna help organize a ride, let me know. I think it would be great to have an event down south here. Plus, UDC is close and people could visit the showroom if desired. -- uniredneck "Anything less than your best is a felony" -Vanilla Ice ------------------------------------------------------------------------ uniredneck's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/13931 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/57371 |

Southeastern US trails good for MUni
I'm out of Huntsville, AL. I haven't muni'd anywhere but around Monte Sano State Park (which is right out my back gate). Probably 50 miles worth of trails. A good mix of fairly non-technical and level trails on top of the mountain (basically a large mesa type of a "mountain"), and good technical routes anywhere going off the mountain. Anyhow I'd like to be apart of some southeast muni weekend or something. BTW, a few of us are going to Fort Yargo, GA this May to take part in a 12hr mtb race, entering as solo unicyclists. The race director is cool with uni's so we're going for it.

I used to live in the southeast and my brother still lives in the Asheville NC area. There are plenty of places to hold a muni event in western NC. I will pm you with contact info. I think it's a great idea and high time we had a festival/event in the south. -- unichomp ------------------------------------------------------------------------ unichomp's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/11814 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/57371 |

I love the idea of a MUni Weekend or similar in the general area of Atlanta, or wherever works. Don't know if I could make it, but it would be great for people who can. It doesn't matter where you live, there are usually some good trails within an hour or two of you. Talk to the mountain bikers and search on the Web to see what's around, then go try it out. Stick to legal trails though. -- johnfoss John Foss "jfoss" at "unicycling.com" -- www.unicycling.com ----------------------------------------------- "pretty much every trail that we've done on the California or Moab Muni weekends is an XC trail." -- Kris Holm, on XC from a North Shore point of view ------------------------------------------------------------------------ johnfoss's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/832 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/57371 |

Yeah, there are a couple of good trails around the Atlanta area, but none long enough or exciting enough to host a weekend ride. -- uniredneck "Anything less than your best is a felony" -Vanilla Ice ------------------------------------------------------------------------ uniredneck's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/13931 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/57371 |

I've been talking with the event planners at the the Mountain Sport Festival here in Asheville www.mountainsportfestival.com and they want to have a mountain unicycle component to their festival. I thought it would be a perfect time to host a Southeast Muni Weekend. There are excellent trails around the Asheville area; I'm working up the itinerary right now. The dates are May 4-6, 2007. Have a downhill ride on Friday and Sunday, with a morning ride/race, etc Saturday and a demo/trials comp/ etc that afternoon at the festival grounds (or whatever riders come up with). The trails I think would be great (which you should be able to look up on the net) are Kitsuma, Trace Ridge, Pilot Rock, Spencer Gap, Laurel Mtn...all in Pisgah National Forest, and all legal. I'm looking at getting the Campground at Bentcreek Experimental Forest for us to use. Input, suggestions, help are all encouraged and appreciated. For those of you who think the southeast is flat, check out Western North Carolina, it's double awesome. I've been to Moab and California Muni Weekends and our mountains, though smaller and a lot older, offer world class Muni riding. -- adammasters ------------------------------------------------------------------------ adammasters's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/11569 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/57371 |

This is great! Good to see there are others who want a ride like this. Looks like I gotta really start practicing so I don't look like a complete fool when I get there. -- uniredneck "Far better it is to dare mighty things, than to take rank with those poor, timid spirits who know neither victory nor defeat." - Theodore Roosevelt onewheelinwierdo wrote: Thing #9: Do unicycles, not drugs..... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ uniredneck's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/13931 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/57371 |
