Last weekend was the annual “California Mountain Unicycle Weekend” (official website at the SB Unicycle Club). This year, it was held in Santa Barbara, California. I had a BLAST! As usual, other people took a lot of great pictures. Here are some of the highlights:

Some of Nathan Hoover’s pictures on the Cold Springs trail:
My “purple panties” outfit.
Me riding down one of the last tricky bits of Cold Springs.
..and the “Saddle Rock” trail (intense!):
Barley making it down!
..and the “street competition”, which I got last in!

Nathan also has some good pictures of other people..but heck, this is my blog!

So, I left work Thursday evening and drove over to Jason and Sara’s house. I hitched a ride down to SB with them, and we found (a) campsite at about midnight; it wasn’t exactly ours, so we switched to the official one in the morning. After registration, we shuttled to the top of the mountain and rode down the Cold Springs trail. Boy! I wish it had some cold springs on it, because it was HOT out. After the ride, we went back to the campsite and chilled for a short bit before going off to dinner w/the group.

Saturday was an easier ride; well, by easier, I mean shorter. We hiked up Saddle Rock, and attempted to ride down. it was a blast! After that, we had the trials competition, which I attempted. I then did the street competition after getting encouragement from the others. I showed off my extreme skills, such as “idling” and “riding backwards”, to score me last place :)

Saturday night, we had a superior banquet. Eyal and the SB uni people totally outdid themselves. It was killer! there was a ton of unicycle gear to give away, and lots of stuff. i got my Defect DVD from Dan via Jess, and I finally got Universe 2 (via a prize on the prize table!).

Sunday was a mellower ride, but fun!
