Thanks to all involved for a good eurocycle
Another eurocycle has been and gone. This year over 350 people came
together from all over western europe to unicycle, play,eat,drink, and unicycle some more. We came from Germany, Switzerland, Belguim, France, Denmark, The UK, Pueto Rico and Australia. We enjoyed games of Hockey (34 teams in this years tornament) Basket ball, Galdiators , Bull dog, Stuck in the mud, peg grab and riding at the ring. We competed in Long Jump High Jump and the obstacle course, we raced slowly backward and forwards and in the Jungle adventure race. Many thanks are due to the team of organisers, Nichol and Marcus are the only names I remember, but there were many others who helped out and made the weekend a fun event. The muni trip was fun, I managed to fit 27 unicycles in the luggauge space behind the seats of a mini bus, a convoy of car sharers and said mini bus followed a trail of human sign posts to a smal patch of woodland on the edge of town. Most people stayed close to the first aiders and played on a bunch of steep slopes and drop zones. Paul and I took off to explore the woods and managed a 5 or 6 mile tour of the local single track, much of it rather good. Our route choseing method was fairly simple, if it went up hill we followed it because at the top of hills you find interesting enjoyablely loose twisty paths leading down wards. Hockey, The competition was HUGE this year, 34 teams played in 8 groups, each group had a 1st and 2nd level seed team in it plus two unseeded. The Uk team - Plastic Ball Please- ended up in group A, along with 1st seed team Deseteure ( I may not have spelt that right) and two unseeded teams Tournados (a teenage team) and HUCK3 (a Danish kids team). The group result was pretty much as expected and we went on to meet Lahimo who had won Group B and then comprensively beat us too. It showed quite clearly that the ast time the UK team played together was at Unicon, we were a bit rough round the edges. More to come some other time.
