  1. I'm goin to be in Wales from 21 Mar - 31 Mar. Any Welsh unicyclists out
    there? I'd love to meet up with someone on one wheel while we're in
    Cardiff, Northern Wales, or Western Wales.

    David

  2. Glad to see you won the battle and the uni is going to travel. I hope
    you didnt have to leave one of your kids back in exchange.

  3. Well, if you're anywhere near Prestatyn, there are three of us who live
    here.
    I'm not very good, but having managed to freemount & ride off twice this
    afternoon, I now consider that I can say that I can unicycle.
    I would love to meet a fellow unicyclists

    Hey, Cathy! As it happens, we're staying not far away (Bursting CoEds or
    something) and will have lots of time on our hands. I'd love to phone
    you when we're there so we can try to hook up. We're bringing my 9yo
    daughter's uni and may bring mine, too. I'd love to show you some tricks
    (I'm level 7), offer some pointers, and generally spend time with Welsh
    uni'ists!

    My e-mail is dstone AT packer dot edu (you can also reply here if that's
    better).

    It might also work out to have you come to our Bed and Breakfast (or to
    meet at a third location) -- so let me know about your availability.

    My wife now tells me it's "Betws-y-Coed"

    I hope to see all of you!

    If you like muni, there's several purpose built mountain bike trails
    near there, one in Betws-y-Coed itself, and several in Coed y Brenin.

    There's also loads of natural riding round there too, oh and you're near
    to Snowdon which is the biggest mountain in wales + england and is a fun
    thing to ride down on a muni.

  8. Hi, Joe and Des (and Cathy and Stuart).

    We're really excited for the next few weeks. We'll be leaving NY in a
    few days and heading by you. It looks like we'll be having the official
    Northern Wales Unimeet on 26 March in Rhyl at about noon (the time and
    exact place are still up in the air).

    Joe and Des, if you would like to partake, we'd love to have you, but it
    prolly can't happen in or too near to Cardiff because we're only
    spending one day there and were planning to visit a museum or center
    (Welsh Life, I believe) on that day.

    Des, I hope you're up for a drive to Rhyl. I'll understand if that's too
    far or if you'd like to try to hook up with us when we're in SW Wales.

    Joe, as it happens, I've walked the trails you mentioned...I just didn't
    know it till my wife mentioned it today. We did this 3 years ago when we
    visited Conwy.

    In case you need to reach me once we've left NYC, this is our contact
    info for the 24th till the 26th of March (it's a b&b inside a converted
    courthouse):

    PS: I don't currently have the phone #s for anyone EXCEPT Stuart, so if
    you could all email me with them (or post them here), then it'll make it
    easier for me to contact you. My e-mail is dstone at packer dot edu

  10. Hi all,

    I just saw your post, a couple of friends and I are going down snowdon
    tomorrow, we're all staying in a youth hostel in betws-coed.

    We put a post a couple up from yours (actually about 10
    I think) its named riding down snowdon (or something like that), it
    looks like there'll be a couple of others joining us there.

    I would be great to get a couple more, it doesn't matter how good
    everyone is, its just for a bit of fun, I plan to do quite a lot of
    falling, rolling, bouncing, etc...

    if you wanna know any more details check out the post I think it says
    when and where we going to meet.

    I hope to see a couple of you there

    Hey, Dan. Don't forget that we're meeting at the train station in Rhyl
    on 26 March at 10 am. Everyone in Wales is invited! As for other plans,
    I'll check out the other post, but I don't have much flexibility since
    I'll be with my whole family, including 3 kids. I hope the others can
    join you in case I can't.

    interested in meeting up, I'm in Plymouth at the moment (in university)
    but i'll be heading back home to Cardiff in June if anyone is
    interested. I like to do some basic trials (i'm not very good), but i'm
    interested in most things uni.

  13. You look new :p Welcome!

    I do believe there are some...not many though...that are in the area of
    Cardiff. I'm up in Pontypridd (same as deadlydes), but I'm going to be
    going back home soon to Somerset for the summer. I'm sure some others
    that are in your area will say hi and let you know 🙂
