Anyone from Perth, WA?

GizmoDuck · 2003-09-20, 09:37 PM

I'm visiting my Grandma next week in Perth.

Does anyone live there that wants to go for a ride? I'm probably bringing my 29'er.

Thanks,

Ken

What...a city of over a million people and no unicyclists on RSU

Anyway- I got here on Monday but nearly didn't bring along my 29'er- the cranks were frozen stiff and took a fair amount of cursing to undo. Beware of steel nuts on alloy cranks! Luckily I managed to pack it all up before my flight to Perth.

It's quite nice riding in a different neighbourhood

My aunty took me out to their bush section yesterday. It took almost an hour to drive there but it was well worth it. I'd never ridden much in sand before and it was certainly a challenge! It's been raining here but the tracks were probably better in the wet. I spent a few hours just playing around out in the middle of nowhere before heading back.

We went to John Forrest National park today. There were some really cool gravel tracks- perfect for unicycling. It started pouring with rain but there was never any sticky mud- you Australians are so lucky in that respect. The tracks were really fast and I almost crashed into a Kangaroo and her Joey on an epic singletrack descent

. Also ran into a group of school kids that yelled out "Are you crazee?"

I got back soaking wet with a huge grin on my face.

It just goes to prove that a unicycle is the perfect travel vehicle! It's so quick and easy to transport. I don't think I would have bothered disassembling my bike to bring to Perth for a week. And I didn't get charged a bike fee to bring my unicycle on the plane either

I'll take my 29'er for a spin along the Swan River tonight

I don't recall anyone from WA or Perth myself but I was speaking of Ache at the moment but he's in SA. (South Australia) Strange Really Ken. I'll try to help if I can but I'll check the Australian Roster on the Unicycling.org site. Sounds you had a good time in WA in Perth. Have a good time here Ken and thanks for a terrific report you made.
