  1. All the way driving up we were in a deep fog. Quarter mile up the trail
    we punched out. The view beolw was satisfactory.

    Unicycling is little more than an elaborate game of losing your balance
    and catching it.

  3. Cool! Reminds me of 'this group ride'
    (http://unicycling.smugmug.com/gallery/364343#14498054) down Mt. Diablo
    in 2004.

  9. We had the same fog at our morning muni ride, Jon...Eyal took some pricy
    pix on the most life-threatening trail in San Diego. How come you don't
    like the tire?

    yeah.

    luckily we were also mostly above it.

    then it got hot and all the fog went away.

  13. Nice shots. I've seen that many times in the Angeles National Forest,
    owing to my old schedule of riding in the morning before work...The
    sunrise above a sea of clouds by itself almost makes it worth getting
    up that early. The riding seals the deal.

    15 million people under those clouds. And I didn't see a single soul
    that morning.

  16. Well Jon, pictures would sum up the ride way better than words. The ride
    involved bush-whacking past no trespassing signs, onto a dirt road that
    leads to a trail that some downhiller's put some serious work into. The
    top of the trail offers a good variety of steep and extremely fast
    rocky sections, smooth winding zigs, and jumps of different sizes. The
    bottom of the trail shoots straight down and consists of a sequence of
    all or nothing, 7-12 ft. boulder drops, with little to no space in
    between to slow down. Ladders go up and down the rocks like a fricken
    rollercoaster. I just stared at all of this stuff as usual. The
    high-light was Miles spotting his landing down an 8 ft. drop that lead
    immediately to what I shall call the "dial 911" rock. He got spooked by
    a bee and after swatting it frantically and running away, he came back
    and nailed the drop with a perfect landing. All in all it was a good
    ride, though I must admit I was pretty lazy. I'll post pictures if I
    get em from Eyal.
