I had some time to spare today while in Ballarat so took the 36’er along and put in a few circuits around Lake Wendouree.

With a couple of hours to spare between lunch and afternoon unicycle sessions at school I headed to the nearest big hill in the Wombat Forest to try out the Nimbus 26″ ISIS MUni. (more…)
