A mountain unicyclist rides away from the camera, climbing a dirt road with a rocky surface. The light on the hillside is dramatic, with a mix of sun and mist, and a partially blue sky along with wispy clouds.

Mount Tam with Pieter

Pieter, a unicycle friend from the Netherlands, is spending a month traveling around the American West, and checked in on whether any locals would be up for a ride. As usual, you don’t have to ask us twice.

Departures and returns

Unicyclists are shuffling in and out of the Bay. Sarah headed out on a multi-month walkabout, which means the flatland scene around here will be less well-organized for a while. But Campbell is back from Weehawken, New Jersey, where he’d moved for some reason. We had a good chill ride up in Joaquin MIller.

Tornado warning

Adrian was in town, and suggested a ride in Joaquin Miller given the wet weather around the Bay. Sunday morning was quite pleasant, but the week’s storms had left fallen limbs and other litter all over. Made for some interesting riding on the park’s ever-changing trails. A lot of slippage on wet roots, although surprisingly there wasn’t much mud.

Owen’s return

Our friend Owen has moved back to the Bay, and called a MUni ride for Berkeley this weekend. We had beautiful MUni weather as our mixed-skills group climbed and descended the canyon.
