Paper
Towel Man
Some unicyclists are easily amused. Gonzo rider David Poznanter, totally
in character, could not stop laughing when he noticed my paper towel dispenser.
Bruce Bundy thought it was funny too. Good thing I didn't also have Toilet Paper
Man installed in the bathroom... |

The
Dorm
Thirteen people slept at my house on Saturday night. Fortunately there was
plenty of floor space! Those who weren't "two tired" watched videos
and stayed up a little late. Geoffrey Faraghan (sitting) and Kris Holm (kneeling)
are trying to figure out why Kris' new axle had an apparent suspension feature.
Tiffany Dibble is checking out the guys in the next picture. |

Class
is in session
The assembled group watches master rough terrain rider George Peck tackle
an especially difficult section of Sunday morning's trail near the picnic
areas at Sly Park. |

|
Mega
roots
On the first section of the lake trail, we rode just above these amazing roots. At some spots, the trail was only 6" wide, with
eroded gaps and spots that required jumping over. |

Those
dam riders
A small piece of the trail around Jenkinson lake was on pavement. As you
can see the lake is man-made, capped by a dam at the end. About 25 riders,
the self-proclaimed experts, continued on this part of the ride, meaning
they planned to complete the circle around the lake. |

"Advanced
Bicycle Trail"
This sign greets riders as they leave the pavement and head into the woods
on the far side of the lake from the campgrounds. Don't get the wrong idea,
it's a bicycle and equestrian trail too. At some points the trails are separate,
at others joined together. |

Kris
Holm, log man
Looks like I'm not the only one dumb enough to bring a camera on the trails
as Geoff Faraghan and George Peck also lined up to get pictures of Canadian
Kris Holm on this long log. After seeing the North Shore Extreme II video, showing
where Kris rides back in Vancouver, this must be a piece of cake for him! |

Scot
Cooper, giraffe man
The first MUni giraffe I've seen, it was actually very capable on the trails!
Scot Cooper of Danville was able to ride it over almost everything, though
this hill proved to be too much for nearly everyone to ride up. |

Waterfall
group
The waterfall feeds the lake from the end opposite the dams. It comes out
of a half mile long pipe, which was built by the Bureau of Reclamation in
the 50s. Back row: Daniel Hopkins (Head Shok uni), Nathan Hoover (Bundy
uni), Geoffrey Faraghan (Telford uni), Dan Heaton, John Dibble, Jock Young,
Scott Arnold. Front: George Peck (monster truck uni), John Childs (Pashley), Christopher
Peck (another monster truck), Kris Holm (custom job), Ted Howe (another Pashley),
John D. Miller (who donated a Pashley), and a Roger Davies Carbon MUni belonging to
me (behind the camera as usual). |

Nice
scenery
The trail around Jenkinson Lake is a beautiful ride on a bicycle or a unicycle.
This is Kris Holm rounding a bend in the last section of the trail. |

First
Wheel Dippers
Julie and Sierra Young were the first competitors in the first-ever MUni
Observed Trials competition. The object was to ride down to the lake, get the tire
wet, and return with the least amount of dismounts. Julie and Sierra were
the only ladies who participated. |
| |
 |
|
Julie
coming up
Unfortunately Sierra exceeded the maximum number of dismounts (20), so Julie
was the only finisher. The hard part was on the ride up getting through
this rocky section. She made it with a total of 7 dabs (dismounts). |

Bruce Bundy on the rocks
Bruce is the Trailmeister for the 1999 MUni Weekend, to be held in his
town of Santa Cruz. That means he's determining the routes and locations
we will all enjoy, including a much more challenging and different trials
event. He came in second here, with a score of 1 dab. The two cones in
the background were the start/finish line. The men's winner was Kris Holm
from Vancouver, with a score of zero!
