Butler Wobble

The unicycling end is still being sorted. Insurance assurance is the current project. You definitely want to be in Butler for the weekend of July 17-18. Come sooner to if you like. The snow should be melted by then.

Thanks Isaac for the Photos. Ben now doesn't feel so left out. He is no longer the only one at the table who can't ride a unicycle. By the end of our YMCA time yesterday he had gone from never sitting on a uni to riding 1/2 way across the gym.

The first Butler County Stage Race is on! This is the first (hopefully annual) unicycle stage race in Western Pennsylvania (USA). The short details: Saturday, July 17th: City Parks Time Trial. A 6.6 mile (approximately) closed course featuring the parks of Butler. In addition to the regular smooth flat paved roads the course includes some hills, brick streets, and pockmarked pavement. Also on the 17th: Main Street Criterium. This closed course includes a flat brick road section and a lollipop loop around the courthouse area. The bicycle course is around 1 mile per lap which is too long for unicycling- especially for those using less than a 36 inch wheel. We're finalizing a good balanced unicycling course. Sunday, July 18th: Renfrew Rás Road Race. This challenging 8.6 mile loop includes 900ft of climbing (and descending) per lap. (We may extend the 3 lap option a slight bit to get an official marathon distance, although it is plenty challenging enough already.) We also have a...

The weather this past week hasn't been entirely suitable for one wheeled transport. In spite of that fact it is rumored that Andy was out and about on his 26" Nimbus. Way to go! I wish we had some pics. Since the YMCA is open, we're on for today. Come join the fun.

Sorry Ben. To the best of our knowledge he was the only one who didn't get the message about the YMCA being closed for the day. Forunately he ran several blocks through the 2 feet of snow sporting some stylish shorts. Nate, Isaac, and Dave still went for a ride. Nate, as always, steals the show with the quote of the day: Superbowl Saturday Single Speed Suburban Stomp 2010 Pictures of the ride should make it to the photo album soon.

No Wobble today. We just found out that today, February 6, 2010, the YMCA is closed due to the weather. The snow is up to the hub on a muni! We'll see you next week.

Even though the weather's lousy we're still on for tomorrow. Butler YMCA, 4:30-6:30. One is more fun.

Even though some consider this a holiday weekend, we'll still be riding. As a matter of fact, maybe a bit more than usual: S6 details . Remember: Wobble Saturday, Superbowl Sunday.
