I'll talk to Trip tonight about setting up an easy-to-find rendezvous.
Belle Isle is smack in the middle of Richmond, on the James River, about
an hour and a half from Fairfax.

We'll also try and come up with some sort of informal agenda, food
arrangements, etc. Of course, your input is welcome. Will keep you
posted.

[onewheelwizzard]

We have three riders from Philly (Nick - shadowuni, Joe -
onewheelwizzard, Kevin - TheObieOne3226) who'd like to ride with you
guys, but the chances of it happening are tenuous at best. I don't know
if Nick has contacted you or not, I assume that he has and that he's the
"Nick from Philly" you're referring to. I can't really speak for him,
but seeing that he hasn't replied to this thread, I felt like someone
had to acknowledge that he was mentioned. He'll probably be able to go
(if any one of us can, it'll probably be him), but as for myself and
Kevin, we might not be able to come (as much as we'd love to). Anyway,
you've probably got one more rider in Nick, and I'll tell you as soon as
I know if me or Kevin can go or not. Oh, and me and Kevin are 16 and
17, respectively. Nick's 18. Good luck organizing it all!

[Checkernuts]

I say keep this thing laid back.

Its not an offically orginized event and should just be a chill time for
everyone to come out and ride.

10 am sounds like a good time to start the ride maybe even a little
early, concidering that people are going to be driving from out of sate,
But whatever I'll get up if I have to :P

Lets just take it from there, the group isnt too big where we need to
have a schedule of events and know exactlly what trails we are going to
be riding and where we will stop for lunch.

That said thanks for planning it all out and hosting.

Mike

what i was thinking is meet at 10, but there are some good rocks at the
parking lot for trials, and since we will know who will be coming, we
can wait for those lagging on time. since its only a day i dont think
we need to be too formal. the reason i am turning this into a whole
event is just to help out the sport, hopefully we can make some new
friends and maybe rub of on some amazed onlookers :-). Plus, i just
wanna make a really fun event so that people will be interesting in
coming to my DC even next spring! If you guys are interested in
t-shirts, just tell me! i would cover the cost, no problem. here is the
design and if you are interested, e-mail me your size! my e-mail is
listed above.
i had to shrink it to fit it on so its not very clear (the picture is a
map of belle isle but it might be too hard to tell because of the
distortion due to shrinking it).

sorry i am posting so much, but HELMETS REQUIRED. tell nick from philly
if he doesnt see it since he forgot his helmet when he went to the NJ
weekend. please keep checking this thread since due to the large amount
of riders, i may need to institute a waiver... (if you are 18 or older
dont worry about, maybe you could sign something upon arrival but if
under it will be important).

OK, it is the same Nick. I'll tell him about the helmet thing, don't
worry. What might end up happening is a couple people alternating
riding or trials and sharing a helmet, but if there are more people
going than helmets we should be able to scrounge up enough money to get
another helmet or two.

if you really dont have helmets we can find some extra for you, they
might not fit too well or look too cool but its better than nothing.
some of these belle isle trials are really dangerous though and it is
important to be safe.

I want a T-shirt to the max! instead of a waver we could just have
anybody under 18 to get a note from their guardians that said- I so and
so's guardian do hereby permit appropriate medical treatment to be
administered to so and so in hte event taht it is needed. then the
guardian signs it and wha la! there is your waver, but you dont have to
do anything!

Yeah, I guess I sorta agree with Chex about keeping it pretty lax. Not
an actual event, just a ride. I'll take a T-Shirt though! Is that just
gonna be on the front?

Plus, if there is no "event", who would angry parents sue? "The Hell on
Wheel Gang"? ha, we don't have any money!

I may, however, reacquaint myself with the trails there beforehand so I
can remember where the coolest spots are.

I'm down for a carpool.

I dont know how efficent it would for you to meet up with me Brian,
unless you would be comming through DC or northern VA. (edit: wow I cant
read I would love to carpool brian)

I emailed Nick Brazzi about carpooling I figure whats the good of 2 (3)
people getting lost when you can have 1 car get lost and uni with a
buddy when your lost.

(we should figure out a good place for all of us to meet up)


Anyone else comming from the north is more than welcome to tag along.

Hey Mike It is definately easier for me to go through DC to get down
there... i dont mind driving if need be i drive a civic so probably
a total of 3 people (including myself) could fit in with unicycles...


oh yeah I will take a t-shirt too!

Later!

[muniracer]

there is no registration or anything like that, im just asking around to
get a good idea of how many people come to prepare for food and
t-shirts. i wouldnt mind if you told me the day before, but the sooner
the better.

i wanna keep it laid back but i feel that i need to do some organizing
just to ensure that it is a good time. dont worry, there will be no
schedule of events or anything like that, just a group of people having
fun on unicycles. the t-shirt is jsut for kicks. i just dont want to
get into a situation where we are worrying about someone injured on the
ground. since its not an official event we dont have to worry about
waivers, but i still stand by my helmet requirement, at least for the
actual trail riding. but if you guys disagree, we can talk about it.

it was originally just a small private group ride but i wanted to give
people in the area a chance to ride with others, since unicycling events
are rare on the east coast. this will be a great experience to meet
other riders. i just know i had the best time at the NJ muni weekend.
in my opinion, the more riders, the better.

because of the size of belle isle, it would be easy to split into groups
if the number of cyclists is too great to ride efficiently together.
hopefully frank can pick out some great spots for natural trials and
such so that there will be plenty to do all day.

i cant wait :-)

[hell-on-wheel]

Directions from DC area:

Take 95 S to exit 76B (Belvidere St.)

Take first LEFT onto Leigh St.

Take first RIGHT onto Belvidere St.

Take LEFT onto Cary St.
(At fifth or sixth traffic light. Cary St. is next intersection after
Main St.)

Take RIGHT onto 5th St.
(The streets count up, so if you see 6th St., you've gone too far.)

Take RIGHT onto Tredegar St.
(5th St. ends at Tredegar St., so you can't miss this one)

Belle Isle parking lot will be on the right. Look for unicyclists.

One of us will have a cell phone on hand in case someone gets lost. It
won't be mine though since I don't own one.

Trip, Zach, and I were at Belle Isle yesterday checking out the
condition of everything. The Mighty James River was definately a few
feet higher than usual, so most of the rocks are submerged or seperated
by fast moving rapids: good for kayaks, bad for trials unicycling.
There's still a lot of good trials lines to be found on the south side
of the island though.

The trails were just a little moist, but except for a few large puddles
weren't too muddy. It might snow in Richmond a little today, but it's
suppose to be nice tomorrow. A few trails are completely blocked off by
fallen trees, but all in all the trails look pretty good.

Man, this is gonna be a lot of fun. If you didn't get the directions,
they're on a previous page in this thread. If you get lost in the
concrete jungles of Richmond, I'll have a cell phone at hand:
703-568-3944.

Awesome, see everybody tomorrow!
