Let me tap your MUni wisdom...

... and the Miyata Air Saddle with XL Leather covers is a beast!

Whatever you do, make sure you get it on video.

I'll try to be at Moab. It would be cool to see a Savage seat burned in effigy there.

I'll try to be at Moab. It all depends on the job situation at that time. I got my 60 day notice in December. Gotta love the tech industry. I'm only disappointed because Lewis (aka Animation) and Chris (aka Rhysling) managed to survive longer at WorldCom than I managed to survive at BSquare (nasdaq BSQR). It's the 4th or 5th lay-off at BSquare and this one finally got me. Bummer. Time to find a new job. When I find a new job I don't know what the vacation/ time off options will be come time for Moab. I'll be there if I can. If I'm unemployed at that time I'll be there anyways (gotta love free time). The good news is that I'm getting more unicycling in on the week days.

If anyone has any leads for a software tester (QA geek) in Seattle/Bellevue/Redmond Washington give me a ring.

The bottle of wine is not quite done yet and the DVD movie is almost over.

Over the winter our garage used to contain two sailing dinghies, two canoes and two windsurfers. So ner...

I can't remember if both windsurfers are still there, or whether John ran off with one.

Ed,

What sort of cranks on that ride? MemphisMud picked up the same cycle, me thinks, and it came with moderately high Q aluminium cranks... they were kinda flexy. They may not bug you; if they do, you might consider Bicycle Euro cranks (cheep straight steal cranks).

I predict that you will double your cycle stable before the end of the year. An equipment junky like you is going to take it hard to the pocket book.

John,

Jobs get in the way of life; Nathan posted about cycling around Japan after quiting his, and I came very close to notifying my civil masters that I wouldn't be competing for the musical-chair any more... all in good time. I was battle field 'promoted' to a higher stress/skilled position- at the same pay rate. I may follow you and Bruce into the Great Arena of Free Time. I'd wish you speedy re-employment, but I think the world needs you cycling around in it more. Just don't drop out of sight.

I totally agree with your choices of what to buy, exept that you might consider the Alex DX-32 rim instead of the Sun Doublewide. The Alex is cheaper, lighter, and almost as wide (esaily wide enough for a 3" tire) Just a thought, hope you enjoy your new MUni!

THe Wavesport BigEZ is THEE bigwater/playboat. I have 2. I broke the first.
I have a Prijon Embudo for creeking/self-supported multi day trips. Only got to use it a couple times last year, with the drought and all. Hoping for better luck this year.
My older boats are the Riot Slice and the Prijon Samurai. Sold the Dagger Crossfire long ago, my first boat.
No OC here! I went straight to the darkside.

And yes, the Skip is a nice boat. But can you loop it?

Oh!!!! I almost forgot! THe Embudo is pillarless, which means that the whole back end is one big giant hole. I might be able to fit a 24 inch Uni in there! Actually, no, cause it's not as wide in the back. But A 20 inch for sure! I'll have to check this out ASAP. I'll get a 20 inch soon. The boat is 26 inches wide in the middle so I should have room to play with. I can just see it. We all stop for lunch in the middle of the canyon. They all pull out granola bars and apples, and I pull out a unicycle and start riding/hopping around.

Maybe I'll come out with the first kayak/uni porn video.

Normal loop or flatwater? BOTH! (your prijon broke cause well prijon is g*y) theres not much big water round calgary so i have no creekin' boat :-( But i squirt and thats super cool!
