    Happy New Years Day!!!!!!!!!

    Woke up News Year Day and it's snowing. I decided to start
    out the new year by riding my Muni in snow. It was quite the
    work out riding around the neighborhood streets with fresh
    snow covering them. I have a 3" Gazzaloddi and it seems to
    get great traction with very little snow sticking in the
    tread. It's alot of fun to ride fast and then skid.

    I with you all a great New Years and many days of
    unicycling.

    Gene

    do you have skidoo trails? a properly packed skidoo trail
    makes for an awesome winter ride.

    I don't think any less than 2.5 inch tire on a skidoo trail
    would work well enough, but who knows. It sure works well
    with a 3"r

    i know,Salem is getting dumped on with the white stuff.to
    bad we live so far away from each other it would be fun to
    go one a little ride without having to drive over.

    the other night on the ice i was sliding for 3 to 4 feet
    after reving up and stopping.its a weird feeling to go
    forward on a uni without pedaling,its a dream.

    That's not fair! I'm missing out on the Northwest snow. I'm sitting
    here in Atlanta enjoying the nice warm sunny weather and missing my
    chance for riding in the snow around Seattle. 🙁

    Yep. I'm missing my winter rides as well. So far this year
    we have about 5+ ft. of the fluffy white stuff and I won't
    be able to ride for another 3-4 months!

    I'm taking King MUni-Man out tomorrow. He's itching quite
    badly for a ride. I'll just watch and snap a few photos.

    Cheers, Jason

    I went out for my first MUni ride today, still got the pins
    in my thumb but I couldn't resist the temptation. It had
    drizzled slightly overnight and the trails were almost
    perfect. Would have been a little better if it wasn't 75
    degrees 😄 😄 😄 I actually worked up a sweat!!

    Gene, that first picture is awesome. I'm waiting for a good
    snow here, so I can check out snow riding. I put a Muni fat
    tire on my 8 year old's Juggerbug, so she will enjoy the
    fluffy stuff too.

    Jagur mentioned sliding on a uni. Years ago, I loved to
    slide sideways on gymnasium or stage floors, then ride
    way and do it again. I don't know if these 40 year old
    bones could, would still attempt that or not. It sure
    sounds like fun.

    KrashinKenny, great to hear your back on the uni. I decided
    not to ride today because of the stitches in my finger. I
    might do it tomorrow. --chirokid--

    I just couldn't wait any longer. The pain in the thumb is
    pretty much gone (except when I hit the end of it and "drive
    the pins in"😉 so I just went for it. After being off the
    MUni for so long and still being in the learning stage, I
    pretty much sucked today. Mkuhfahl and myself got in just
    shy of 6 miles and I UPD'd more times than I care to
    remember, but it wa great to be riding again. Be careful
    with that chopped up finger and give it a little time to
    heal. It's hard to imagine the inconvience caused by
    something so seemingly trivial as an incapacitated digit
    until one experiences it firsthand. I feel your pain,
    brother🙁 🙁 Take care and be careful with that digit🙂 🙂
