South West Uni Meets Up-date. Events in June
The South West Uni Meet web page http://www.uk.unicyclist.com/swum.html Has details of 2 uni events in the south west in June . They are - June 13th A muni ride at Haldon Forest. Meet at 2pm, lots of hills and mud. -June 20th A social ride along the Exe riverside cycle path, passing the skate park and stopping to eat ice creams when ever possible. Very easy terrain (unless you try out the skate park) from 1.5 miles upwards depending on how far you want to go. For this one the meeting point is St Davids Station, Exeter. At 9.45am with the ride heading off at 10am. The timing is try and pass the skate park before it is heaving with skaters and there no room left! There are a number of pubs along the river for lunch after or during the ride. Both these events are free to take part in. You are responsible for your own saftey during these events, if you can't do massive drops don't try them he-) . Please come along and enjoy a ride in the company of other unicyclists. Both these events are part of 'bike week' (http://ww.bikewek.org.uk) , They are organised by Sarah Miller for South West uni meets. sarah -- sarah.miller - unicycist ------------------------------------------------------------------------ sarah.miller's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/1694 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/32650 |

Just one week till the Haldon Forest Muni ride , Just two weeks till the Ice Cream eating social ride. For thoise who can't decide which to do or want to know more about the terraiin read on. Muni ride- meet at 2pm at Bullers Hill Car park Haldon Forest. The routes both start with some down hill riding( on fire road for Route B), followed by some swoopy single track that is mainly down hill. Then there is a bit of a climb on fire road. Route A dives into tress for some up and downy single track and a down hill. Route B Takes a single track down hill to the meeting point of both routes. This is at a play spot with steps & logs and a stream to fall into. From here Route A goes and does some more gentle down hill followed by a challenging ride back to the car park. Route b will amble back up the single track and then climb on fire road to the car park. Ice Cream Eating Social Ride.- Meet at 9.45am outside St Davids Station (Exeter). This ride starts with a Very short section of road ride ( you could walk if you prefer) to get us away fromthe station and over the river. Then its a gentle ride on cycle path to the skatepark/Millers crossing chill zone. There are some slopes down from the path to the river and various large concrete steps and a mill stone. There is also a skate park, ride in there at your own risk, its not part of the ride but we'll stop next door! After the skate park we will continue to exe Bridges ( more ramps and BIG steps alongside the path) and regroup to ride over cricklepit bridge and the other mill leat bridge to the Quay for Ice creams. If you knackered by the Quay you could stop there, there are craft shops and pubs and the like and its only about a mile back to the station ( by the fastest route). OR you could continue down the river for another 2 miles to the Double Locks Pub for lunch. They do BBQ at the weekends and the beer is rather fine with a canal side garden ( and kids play ground). Thats where I plan on having lunch:-) Sarah Hope to see lots of you join us for one or other of these rides, or both. check www.uk.unicyclist.com/swum.html for all the info. -- sarah.miller - unicycist ------------------------------------------------------------------------ sarah.miller's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/1694 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/32650 |

It misses out some of the more technicial step stuff but does all the best swoopy bits( is a tad shorter too).
