It's 1:00am, I'm tired, sore, and I can barely walk because my knee has
gotten so bad, but I had an AWESOME weekend.

I'm uploading all of my pics and videos 'IN THIS GALLERY TO VIEW'
(http://tinyurl.com/bx35b).

My favorite clip is of Jess Riegel riding into the water on the 26,
along with Ben PS's flying dismount on saturday's technical ride.

I have quite a few videos of just walking around the group too, so
unless someone was only attending on friday, I probably have you in my
gallery somewhere.

Enjoy the 200-ish pics/videos.

The half dozen of us Santa Barbara locals usually ride with a group of 3
or 4. This time we rode with 50—truly a fantastic experience. That
nobody got hurt—despite some legendary falls off cliffs—is an indicator
of the skill level. Folks were bombing the rocky single tracks like
there was no tomorrow. To call that group gung-ho is to call the sun
“kinda warm.”

Special thanks to Eyal A., who organized the event, mostly at his own
expense, and to Hans VK, who hosted, fed and housed a lot of people
(and who also built most of the trails obstacles). These guys were the
heart and soul of Cal. Muni Weekend.

Hope to see some of you guys back here soon.

Huge thanks to all the organizers, but especially Eyal and Hans (who let
a complete stranger stay at his house). I had a great time this past
weekend. Meeting old friends and making new friends was incredible.
Hope to see many of you again before next year's MUni weekend.

A personal thanks to Nathan & Beau Hoover and Scot Cooper who convinced
me a few months ago that it was time to attend the CA MUni weekend
after a nine year absence.

Just want to add our huge thanks to everyone elses, our hats are off to
the fantastic Santa Barbara Muni Club, Eyal, Hans, Matt, John L. and of
course John Foss, and everyone else who put in the hard work to make
everything run so smoothly. My family and I had a truly terrific time.
I was especially impressed by the general atmosphere, everyone was very
friendly and supportive of newbies like ourselves. You guys are a great
bunch of people! We are all hoping that we can make it again next
year.

P.S. Matt, you were right, my legs are sore!

I am so jealous. sucks to living on the other side of the continent.
Maybe I'll be rich enough next year to afford a flight down and meet
all the awesome people I keep talking to online. I'll have a muni then
too! 😄

Again, jealousy runs rampant. heheheh. glad to hear it went well! 🙂

That was an awesome muni weekend. I doubt I'm the only one feeling
beatup, however I don't feel particularly sore. That Saturday advanced
trail kicked ass.

Thanks to all of you who made it awesome, especially Eyal for doing
excellent organizing. The shoestore at the banquet was pretty awesome,
however it seems Gilby wanted a bit more selection of sizes :-p.

Is this the first muni weekend where there was a clifside retrieval of
a person? I hope Trey's doing okay.

My kudos on top of all the others about the weekend! Truly fun, fun,
fun. Thanks Eyal, Hans, John, Matt, Chris, and everyone who helped set
this up and make it run so smoothly. Great job!

A few memorable moments:

- How long was the shuttle ride up? Well, on Friday, the van made an
unscheduled stop so someone (surprisingly, not me) could water a nearby
bush.

- Riding down San Ysidro and hearing "I'm ok down here, really!" from
the "over the edge" bushes and not seeing anyone.

- How long was the shuttle ride up? Special photo op on Sunday,
immediately after the van stopped, before retrieving unis even...was
the ring of folks beside bushes, several on top of ridges even (!),
having a pre-ride moment of relief.

- Hans setting a "tempo" pace hiking up the hill Saturday, which
effectively split the "peloton" apart before the ride even began. Way
to go Hans!

- Realizing I probably now know more uni people from around the
country/world than non-uni people.

Thanks again to all who helped organize and run this neat event!

comp, teaches me to go as fast as i could down the saddle rock trail
the same day as the comps....Well thanks a lot to everyone who put it

people had trouble finding some of the places was because some of the
streets didnt have signs or were poorly marked, I recal you got a lot
of calls and were worried about that...

It was an excellent muni weekend! Thanks to everyone who worked hard to
put it on. The SB guys are all great and were genuinely intent on
everyone having a fun and safe time on their trails.

During Friday’s ride I was thinking it would be forever known as the
“Santa Brutal Muni Weekend”, but the next two days gave us varying
terrain with both technical and fast cruising opportunities, not to
mention additional flying-off-a-cliff opportunities. And, the Friday
ride was one of those things that once you are through it, you are
happy to have the memory of having done it. In fact, now that a few
days have past I find myself wanting to go back and do it
again…someday.

I had the pleasure of talking to Eyal’s parents and they are two of the
nicest people you could meet. It is easy to see where Eyal got his
friendly personality. And his Mom doesn’t worry about Eyal riding on
those trails because he told her he knows what he can do and doesn’t
attempt anything too dangerous. Yeah, I always told my Mom that
too.🙄

It was great to see many faces from previous muni weekends, and also
meet many who were there for the first time. There is never enough time
to talk to everyone as much as I would like. Feel free to email me at
scott (at) wallisdesign.com to continue any of those unfinished
conversations.

Another great time at the CA Muni weekend. Since I missed 1996 and 2001
I guess this was my 8th. Huge thanks to Eyal, Hans, John and all the
other many volunteers who put on this amazing 3-day party. Whatever
happens to unicycling in the future, we can be very thankful now to be
part of such a community. I'm wishing Moab wasn't so long off!

The ride Friday was really hot for the first half and quite technical.
It was the most fun I've had doing Muni in a LONG time! The skill level
of everyone sure has gone up in the last few years. It was great to
have two options for the Saturday ride as Saddle Rock is only for a few
elite (crazy) riders. It was fun to watch but I didn't have a desire to
ride quite a bit of it. Sunday's ride was perfect: short enough so
there was lots of time to hang out afterwards, technical enough to be a
challenge, and a great bonus swimming hole halfway through.

It's always hard to pull off big group dinners but both nights were
really fun. When I saw how much swag there was Saturday I put away the
items I brought to donate. Come to Moab to win a CF seat base and other
stuff!

I was a little sore yesterday and even had to write Beau a note to get
out of running in PE. But I feel great today. Everytime I got to one of
these I'd really like to just shoot photos but I can't as I just have
to ride. Megumi and I got a few ok photos. Here's an album with some,
including 2 video clips (not as good as Catboy's clip of Jess riding
into the swimming hole though): 'Smugmug photo gallery'

What a fantastic weekend! Big big big thanks to Eyal, John, Hans, Matt,
Chris and everyone else. Everything was so smooth!

I definitely regret not doing the ride on Saturday morning.... but my
bed was so comfy and Brian swore he was too sore to ride.

I took 0 photos, but my roommate Kyle snapped some at the trials comp.
