Mountain Unicycling

Was out riding after work, messing around on the 20″ uni at Trentham Falls and Shazaam, the Google Street View car cruised by – unlikely and cool!

I had a few hours to spare on a day trip to South Western Victoria so took the 24″ GUni along to ride the Crater to Coast Rail Trail, which runs 29km from Camperdown to Timboon (though the plan is to extend it all the way to Port Campbell). (more…)

Had a short but exciting ride today looping between Twin Bridges and Tipperary Springs. Lots of great single track, ultra narrow in places, sometimes with sheer rock wall on the hillside, sometimes with a big drop on the other, sometimes both! The single track also drops in and out of an old water race from the gold mining days. (more…)

Had a fun MUni today at Breakneck Gorge near Hepburn Springs, on a section of trail that links the natural mineral springs in the area. The gorge is a great place for MUni – super narrow trails cut into surrounding hillside, lots of steep up and down, rocky, and big drops beside the trail into the gorge. High gear didn’t get any use today! 😛 (more…)

Had a fun late afternoon ride in the Wombat Forest, stopping off at a large hollow burnt out tree for some pics. (more…)

Had a fun ride on the 24 GUni in the Wombat Forest.

Had fun down at the local reserve today with Didj the uni dog. Didj is a 6 month old kelpie cross with LOTS of energy. We’ve already been out on many walks, uni rides and MTB rides but today was the first day on the 36’er which Didj seemed to get excited about – maybe it’s the extra height, dunno! Didj runs alongside the 29’er no problem but went a little crazy beside the 36’er. (more…)

I haven’t had a chance to post much over the Christmas break but there’s still been time to ride the uni each day, even if only to exercise and train Didj, our new super dog 🙂 (more…)
