Memphis Mud Island Pics (and need help with the video)


Last Sunday I spent the day hopping over the Mississippi River with the Memphis Uni Club. Man, what a great unicycle community they have in Memphis! Great riding, great people.
We were able to ride 1000 miles along and sometimes over the Mississippi River. Boy, were we tired. I have some photos here .



I have a video to post as well, but get the same error as johnfoss got below. Does anyone know what's going on?

Wow!

What FUN that was! It was great that you took such awesome photos to document a perfect way to spend a Sunday morning riding! Also, thanks for the link to the Mud Island River Park. Most Memphians don't even know it is there. It is the perfect uni-play ground AND the park's administrators love it when we come down and entertain the visitors to our city. I can't wait to show the lads their photos on the web. They will be really excited and inspired to continue to ride and learn new skills - as am I!

Onefiftyfour, you are always welcome at my home and to drop-in on any MUC activity.

I hope that we can get over to Little Rock on the 21st. Are we still on for that ride? You'll be doing a good deed to introduce unicycling to the Little Rock area before you head back south to Austin. Ride in publicly visable places - for us, as we are looking to expand our uni-circle to Little Rock! Don’t forget to mark your schedule for an after-ride dinner at Lilly’s!

Tommy

great pix

I'm sure some of them will make there way to the MUC website.

We're planning a day trip your direction soon.

Yes, we are still on for that ride. To keep things simple, I suggest we stay in the Little Rock city limits. There are muni trails in a park called Allsopp Park. It's supposed to be technical and challenging. (description from a local bikeshop website)
If we want more we can coker/29er around the hills of Little Rock or hop on things downtown or both.

Who do you think will come?

Hey, TT:

That's looks like a great group. Sensational you have a real gang with kids. Are those the ones who learned to ride in half an hour?

"Ride" is sort of a relative term. Most of these kids worked hard to hang with us on our non-practice activities.

Yes, they are a great goup!

Thanks,
Tommy
