We will arrive in Moab late afternoon on the 27th (thursday) and spend
the night then. We usualy do that and just do a quick ride somewere on
our own.

Then on the last day we do the sunday morning trail ride and start to
head home about noon.

I'd really like to make it out there this year, though I'd need to find
a way there from the airport.

Lots of us fly into Salt Lake City and then rent cars to get down. In
2004 I shared a big van with about nine people. Another year we did two
minivans. If you can coordinate flight times with others, this brings
the per-person cost way down. Make sure you don't book your flights
home too early on Monday though. It's better to fly no earlier than
2:00; later is better or you have to get up way too early Monday
morning to make the drive. It's 4-5 hours depending on one's "driving
style." I'll be flying in on Friday morning and leaving Monday
afternoon again this year, hoping to group in with some of the same
people.

Hopefully it will be better organised than last years

Yeah, the rain wasn't very well organized. As for the rest, the
competitions were a first-time experiment, so it was a learning
experience for all. Otherwise, Rolf likes to keep it fairly open and
puts his major efforts into getting the permits and otherwise
permissions for our huge group to ride the trails. Even the California
MUni Weekend wouldn't know what to do with 160 riders!

Where is a good place to stay? I seem to remember hearing that everyone

Are there places to eat, or do we need to bring food?
Whats the best way to get from the airport to Moab?

For campers, Rolf will recommend the main group spot when he posts the
2008 info. There is plenty of camping in and around Moab but I'm not a
camper myself so I'll stop there. Generally you'll have the most
enjoyment if you stay with the main group. I usually rent condos with
groups of other people. They're cheap, they're heated and so far we've
always had a hot tub as well. Also there are a bunch of hotels/motels
in town, though not generally a main one where bunches of unicyclists
stay.

Best airport is Salt Lake. Though Grand Junction, CO is closer, it's
not a major airport so flights may not be cheap. Moab also has a tiny
airport, but a flight there will be expensive and may involve changing
planes at one of those airports (to a little tiny one) anyway. So my
groups and I have always driven down from SLC.

You need to bring food on the rides, as the trails are in the middle of
nowhere. Think serious nowhere, like desert. Make sure you are self
contained with water, sufficient food for the ride length, tools and
clothing for temperatures that may start out really cold and then get
hot (or wet). And sunscreen! In town there are lots of food places.

For The UniSLAB, here's some 'pictures of the skatepark'
(http://unicycling.smugmug.com/gallery/2644529#139735757) (and
everything else) from last year.

If anyone from Texas is going or is even think about going let me know.
I can't drive there anymore but I checked pricing for flights/car ect.
and it wouldn't be that much if a few of us got together.

I hope somone is thinking about going from Texas
