  1. All,

    I live in the mountians near Boulder, Colorado and in my opinion we
    have some amazing trails to ride. Oddly, there does not seem to be a
    local group of riders here, or none that I have found.

    I am wondering who, if anyone, out there would like to attend a Front
    Range Muni Weekend in late June or July. I have compliled a partial
    list of some trails close to my house, mostly ones for which I could
    find internet info. I could support a limited amount of accomodations
    at my house, we have a small house so mostly camping.

    Please Post your interest and a perfered date.

    The problem with America is stupidity. I'm not saying there should be a
    capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety
    labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

  3. Count me in!

    Late July (23-25 or 30-31) would be great for me. This would also give
    us some more time to plan.

    Before that, I'm only 60 miles from Ward and 40 from Boulder, so lets
    get some weekend and evening rides going too!

  5. Count me in as well! As far as a local group of riders, there are
    several riders in the front range area, but we have yet to form a gang.
    "Hell on wheel" is taken, so we'll have to think of something more
    clever. :p

    buddies would feel the same.

    That would be a fair drive. Four and a half hours from Aspen to Ward,
    according to 'Yahoo Maps' (http://tinyurl.com/yt6jk). Do-able,
    though!

  9. Hey Joel;

    A Front Range weekend is a good idea, but I'm on a field project from
    late June to late August. The informal gathering at Hall Ranch is all I
    can organize this year, but I'd be glad to help out if you want to take
    the lead on something in late August this year. I'm planning on
    organizing a Yahoo Group where we can post messages and schedule rides
    etc., but that will have to wait until I get back.

  10. Watch out for conflicts with other unicycle events!

    The big one is NAUCC, July 13-18 in Salt Lake City. Please don't pull
    Colorado-area riders away from that one, as it's the first thime the
    "nationals" has been in this part of the country. Also I believe there
    will be daily MUni rides in the area, if Rolf Thompson and others can
    arrange it.

    An even bigger one, but much further away, is Unicon XII, in Tokyo July
    23-August 2. A lot of us are going to that.

    Because I'm going to both of those, my summer travel is about shot, so
    I'm afraid I'd probably have to miss your weekend, this time at least.
    But surely Colorado is loaded with great trails, and it will be great if
    you can get something organized for the many riders there!

    Also don't forget (shameless plug) the California MUni Weekend,
    September 17-19 at Lake Tahoe!

  12. Count me in.

  13. I would come, but I'm going back to NZ on June 18th! I did Halls Ranch
    today - got sunburnt, saw groundhogs (soooo cute!), and sweated buckets.
    A nice ride.

    I hope to ride those other trails Jrutkows listed before I leave, kinda
    like a preview to the FRMW!

  14. Tony, are you going to meet us at Hall Ranch this Saturday? A bunch of
    us will be there, so we can get in at least one big group ride before
    you leave. I'll let you use some of my sunscreen. 😄

  15. Alright folks,

    It looks as though there is some interest, but July seems busy.

    How about Aug 20-22? one month before the Cali weekend?

  17. Tony, If you can drive 3-4 hours to the mountains before you go back,
    I'd be glad to show you some MUni rides around Aspen. The drive alone
    will be impressive. Let me know. That goes for all you front range
    MUniacs. The high country is drying out so most high altitude riding is
    getting good.

  18. As an incoming freshman I think move-in weekend might be important, I
    couldn't make it.
    Sorry.
