  1. Today we had a great turn out for a MUni ride in St. Edwards State Park
    in Juanita, WA. Eight riders, two of them new ones. Our group of both
    MUni and Coker riders continues to grow. Today we had Sabin, George
    Pendergast, Irene Genelin, John Childs, Tom Jackson, Tom and Miles
    Blackwood, and me. I have photos in a gallery at:

    '8 Feb MUni Ride'
    (staff.washington.eduMUni8Feb2004)

    the last one being a group drop off of a loading dock at the
    seminary. Fortunately for you, I was the one taking photos
    so I'm only in a couple of them, but the SH MUni with new
    Kooka cranks and Wellgo B-27 pedals is at

    'SH MUni with Kookas and Wellgos' (tinyurl.com3akpq)

    and is worth checking out.

    Highlights of the ride:

    Meeting George and having him ride with us; standard
    unicyclist...very cool. Watching Miles complete his longest
    MUni ride ever. Being schooled by Sabin on ALL of the
    stunts. Watching Tom Blackwood hop up a flight of four
    stairs, land the top and ride away. Watching JC and Irene do
    the 340 foot vertical climb on the steep, lake trail without
    falling off once. Not being hit by any trees that Tom
    Jackson pushed over.

    Thanks for the ride.

  2. We have posted descriptions of St. Edwards State Park and
    Big Finn Hill park in Juanita before. It's an old seminary
    school surrounded by wooded park areas along the northeast
    shore of Lake Washington. Some of the photos are of trail
    areas close to the roadside. Much of the ride is deep in
    wooded areas as can be seen in the ladder-bridge and log
    skinnies area. There are good shots of Sabin doing drops off
    of a 4.5 foot statue platform in front of the seminary. My
    favorite sequence is the repeated shots of Tom Jackson
    watching everybody else go over a logjam. Or maybe the
    several shots of Miles lying on the ground. We worked that
    boy today.
